Expand PACE in Ohio- The Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly
Dayton Ohio–Ohio House Bill 600 would use $50 million of ARPA funds be utilized to expand PACE throughout Ohio. Increasing services that would allow more elderly people to stay and age in their home is the goal of a statewide coalition. Right now McGregor remains the only PACE program in Ohio, serving almost 700 participants throughout Cuyahoga County and providing affordable housing opportunities in McGregor’s Assisted Living.
The coalition is asking lawmakers to support legislation to use additional funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to expand the state’s Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
Expand PACE Ohio, a coalition of providers serving elderly Ohioans, met with Dayton-region lawmakers recently to advocate for Ohio House Bill 600, which would use $50 million of ARPA funds be utilized to expand PACE throughout Ohio.
