Celebrating National PACE Month: A Spotlight on PACE and Enable Dental’s Role in Transforming Care

September is National PACE (Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) Month—a time to celebrate and raise awareness about the vital services PACE provides to seniors across the United States. PACE programs play a crucial role in delivering comprehensive care to older adults who wish to age in place while managing complex health needs. This month, we shine a spotlight on the importance of PACE and how Enable Dental proudly supports these life-changing programs.

What is PACE?

PACE is designed to provide coordinated and integrated care to seniors who are eligible for nursing home care but prefer to remain in their homes. Through PACE, participants receive a full range of healthcare services, including primary and specialty medical care, rehabilitation, social services, and, importantly, dental care. The goal of PACE is to keep seniors healthy, independent, and in their communities for as long as possible.

Each PACE participant is cared for by an interdisciplinary team that works closely with the participant and their family to develop a personalized care plan. This team includes:

• Doctors
• Dentists
• Nurses
• Social workers
• Therapists
• Other healthcare professionals

National PACE Month: Why It Matters

National PACE Month is an opportunity to honor the impact PACE programs have on the lives of seniors and their families. It’s also a time to highlight the challenges that seniors face and the innovative solutions that PACE offers. This month, we celebrate the caregivers, healthcare providers, and organizations that make PACE possible.
