Allcare of Arkansas, the new Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) group, will partner with St. Bernards Healthcare in Jonesboro and the East Arkansas Area Agency on Aging to provide seniors in East Arkansas access to much-needed services as an alternative to permanent nursing home placement.
Approximately one-fifth of the nation`s elderly live in rural areas. Compared to their urban counterparts, the rural elderly are generally older, are more likely to live in poverty, report worse health status, and are at a greater risk of being placed in a nursing home. The new Rural PACE Provider Grant Program will provide funds to support the coordination of comprehensive care for some of the most vulnerable Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries living in rural America.
