It ' s better , safer , and less expensive than institutional care ," said Peter Hansel , chief executive officer of the California PACE Association ( CalPACE ).

Our personal touch to care is why 92 percent of seniors enrolled in PACE recommend it . With the nation ' s elder population growing , expanding PACE access is critical to meet care expectations and challenges that come with this demographic change ."
