The Pace Place helps older adults stay safe, healthy, and independent at home. We are North Florida’s only all-inclusive senior care program through PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly).
If you qualify, you can get care at our day center and in your home. Our team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) work together to meet your needs and support your health.
We help with rides to appointments, medications, therapy, meals, and more. We also work with your family or caregiver to create a care plan just for you.
At The PACE Place, we focus on what matters most: aging at home with the support you need to live well.
Caring for an aging loved one can be overwhelming. From driving to appointments and managing medications to balancing work and home life, it’s a lot. At The PACE Place, we offer caregiver support through our all-inclusive senior care program.
If you’re feeling stressed or worried about leaving your loved one alone during the day, we can help. Our team works with families to create a care plan that keeps your loved one safe, healthy, and at home. We make sure caregivers are involved and supported too.
You don’t have to do this alone. The PACE Place is here for both you and your loved one.
The PACE Place provides all-inclusive senior care services to help older adults stay safe, healthy, and independent at home.

Our healthcare plan includes all of these services:
- Primary and specialty medical care

- Lab work and x-rays
- Emergency and hospital care
- Preventative healthcare and dietary support
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
- Home medical equipment and supplies
- In-home personal care and nursing support
- Light housekeeping and respite care
- Transportation to the PACE Place and appointments
- Recreation, meals, and social time at our day center
- Ongoing care coordination and social work support
The PACE Place helps seniors stay healthy and independent while living at home. We offer medical, social, and in-home care services for older adults who need extra support to stay safe.
To join our program, you must:
- Be at least 55 years old
- Be able to live safely in the community
- Be approved by the state for nursing home care
- Live in one of our service area zip codes: 32065, 32073, 32202, 32204, 32205, 32206, 32207, 32208, 32209, 32210, 32211, 32212, 32216, 32217, 32218, 32219, 32220, 32221, 32222, 32223, 32224, 32225, 32244, 32246, 32254, 32257, 32258, 32277
The cost of joining The PACE Place depends on your Medicare and Medicaid coverage. If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid—or Medicaid alone—there’s no cost to join the program. There’s no deductible or copayment for any drug, service, or care approved by your health care team.
If you have Medicare only or don’t qualify for either program, you can still join for a monthly fee. We also welcome private pay participants.
All your care must go through The PACE Place and our approved providers. PACE will provide all of the necessary services you need but cannot guarantee access to providers outside of our network. Participants may be liable for the cost of medical services from an out-of-network provider or without prior authorization with the exception of emergency services.
Want to know how our costs compare to nursing homes? We’re happy to show you how The PACE Place gives you more care for less.
To join the PACE program, a person must be 55 or older, live in our service area, and need help with daily activities or health care. First, we meet with you to learn more about your needs. Then, our care team checks to see if PACE is the right fit for you. We work with the State to understand your current level of care. If you qualify and decide to join, we will help you through the paperwork and get started with your care. While enrolled with PACE, we become your care provider and your insurance. Your specialized care team will coordinate everything you need, including your medical care, medications, and support you may need at home.
You can choose to leave the PACE program at any time for any reason. If you do, we will help you move back to regular Medicare or Medicaid services. While you are waiting to switch insurance providers, your PACE team will ensure that you continue to have access to all of your medical care and the services you need to be healthy and independent. You have a right to ensure there is no gap or issue with your care during the disenrollment process, and your PACE team is dedicated to making sure your needs are met up until your last day with us. Our team will work with you to make sure your care continues smoothly.
