10. continued The PACE Adult Day Health Care is a place where your more frail and difficult residents go and allows your staff to spend more quality time with the residents who are in your facility With PACE coordinated, comprehensive services, your residents will be more stable and balanced because they receive health care as frequently as they need it.

11. Can your residents afford PACE? PACE is regulated by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services in Washington DC We receive capitated funds from Medicare and Medi-cal for each PACE participant through which we provide the health services they need If a person uses all of their income for rent in assisted living, there is no cost to your resident to be a PACE participant. If they use part but not all of their income for rent, then there is a partial share of cost for the program. Medi-Cal provides a waiver for residents in a RCFE
