On Lok Lifeways

About the On Lok Lifeways Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly Program (or PACE): The PACE model of care was developed by On Lok through a series of successful demonstrations in the 1980s. On Lok led a national demonstration effort testing the models across the country which culminated with the passage of The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, making PACE a permanent provider type under Medicare and a state option under Medicaid. Today, PACE has grown nationally to include 122 programs in 31 states, and PACE organizations in California serve more than 7,000 participants at 37 PACE Centers and Alternative Care Sites.
