Participants may be fully and personally liable for the costs of unauthorized, out-of-network care or services.
Our goal is to offer comprehensive care by a coordinated team committed to improving our participants’ quality of life by empowering you to take an active role in your wellness.
Our Elizabethtown PACE Center offers a primary medical care clinic, dental care, meals, therapy, social support and counseling, and an Adult Day Center that provides opportunities for socialization and recreation in one convenient location. Transportation to and from the PACE Center is available to everyone in the PACE program.
PACE® (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a Medicare and Medicaid program designed to help people meet their healthcare needs in the community instead of going to a nursing home or other care facility. PACE provides personal, coordinated medical services and social support to help aging adults stay independent and safely living in their homes for as long as possible.
Care Guide Partners PACE provides all the care and services covered by Medicare and Medicaid, as well as additional medically necessary care authorized by the interdisciplinary team. This dedicated team of healthcare professionals who specialize in aging and chronic conditions creates a customized care plan to ensure holistic and optimal health, safety, and well-being for program participants. PACE includes coverage for prescription drugs, doctor care, transportation, home care, check-ups, hospital visits, and even nursing home stays whenever necessary. With PACE, a participant’s ability to pay will never keep them from getting the care they need to continue living in the community safely.
“Nursing Home-Level of Care,” or “Nursing Facility Level of Care,” is a measured level of care needs that must be met for Medicaid nursing home admissions and varies from state to state.
For Kentucky residents, this level of care is defined in 907 KAR 1:022. Status decisions are based on medical diagnosis, care needs, services and health personnel required to meet these needs, and the feasibility of meeting these needs through alternative institutional or noninstitutional services.
When you enroll in PACE, you keep the benefits offered by Medicare and/or Medicaid and become eligible for additional benefits offered by Care Guide Partners PACE.

Once you join PACE, Care Guide Partners becomes your health insurance provider. Care Guide Partners also coordinates and pays for all of your necessary medical care.
Please note that Care Guide Partners PACE participants must receive all needed health care, including primary care and specialist physician services (other than emergency services), from Care Guide Partners or a person or company authorized by Care Guide Partners. Care Guide Partners PACE participants may be fully and personally liable for the costs of any out-of-network services not authorized by the Care Guide Partners PACE program.
Any PACE participant is free to disenroll from the program without cause at any time. Participants must contact the PACE organization directly to voluntarily change their status and cannot enroll or disenroll at the Social Security Administration office. The disenrollment date will be coordinated between Medicare and Medicaid for a dually eligible participant.
No disenrollment will become effective until the participant is appropriately reinstated into other Medicare and Medicaid programs and alternative services are arranged. The PACE organization must continue to provide all needed services, and the PACE participant must continue to use the PACE organization’s services and pay any premiums, until the date the enrollment is actually terminated. Program enrollment and disenrollment usually occur at the beginning of each month.
