This edition provides an overview of the PACE model, which delivers comprehensive, community-based care for adults aged 55+ who need nursing home-level of care. As of March 2025, 184 organizations operate over 300 PACE centers in 33 states and DC, serving 82,000 participants—most of whom are dually eligible and medically complex. PACE enrollment has grown 53.1% since 2020, far outpacing the 6.3% growth in the 55+ population. Most PACE programs are operated by standalone PACE organizations, larger health systems, long-term care organizations, and FQHCs. There are opportunities for geographic and operational expansion, though barriers to scalability remain.
