Aging in Pace Washington

Aging in Pace Washington is a supporting organization, operated for the benefit of and to support international community health services's Pace program. The Pace program is an integrated model of care that enables medicare and medicaid beneficiaries aged 55 years old or older who are certified by their state as needing nursing home care to live as independently as possible in their own homes and community. The Pace program coordinates and provides all needed preventive, primary, acute and long term care services. The Pace program is governed by the center for medicare and medicaid services (cms) at the federal level and by the state of Washington department of social and health services (dshs) at the state level. This program is highly regulated, subject to compliance with the cms rules and regulation. The application process is extensive and requires professional help from specialized consulting firms such as altitude edge consultants currently engaged in the application process.
