Where are PACE services primarily delivered?

• A. In adult day health centers, with in-home as needed
• B. In hospital-based clinics only
• C. In traditional nursing homes only
• D. In outpatient mental health clinics only

Answer: (A)

PACE is a community-based, all-inclusive care model that centers care around an adult day health center. Most services, including medical management, social support, meals, and nutrition care, are delivered at the center by an interdisciplinary team. When a participant cannot attend daily, in-home visits or services are provided to maintain continuity, but the center remains the primary delivery site. This distinguishes PACE from hospital-based clinics, traditional nursing homes, or outpatient mental health clinics, which are not the main venues for PACE. The aim is to help participants stay living in the community while receiving comprehensive care.
