CMS Pub. 100-11, ch. 6, § 50

The PACE organization must operate at least one PACE center either in or contiguous to

its designated service area with sufficient capacity for routine attendance by its

participants.

The PACE organization must ensure accessible and adequate services to meet the needs

of all its participants. When necessary, the organization must increase the number of

centers, staff, and other PACE services.

If a PACE organization operates more than one center, each PACE center must offer the

full range of services and have sufficient staff to meet the needs of participants.

The frequency of a participant’s attendance at the center is determined by the IDT based

on the needs and preferences of each participant.

At a minimum the following services must be furnished by each PACE center:

• Primary care services including physician and nursing services;

• Social work services;

• Restorative therapies, including physical therapy, occupational therapy;

• Personal care and supportive services;

• Nutritional counseling;

• Recreational therapy;

• Meals.

These services and others are described in detail below, however, if there is a service a

participant needs, that service will be required. For a comprehensive list of possible

required services, refer to 42 CFR § 460.92, 66 FR 66286-66287.
