homes and to maintain their quality of life. PACE is
available only in states that have chosen to offer it under
Medicaid. To learn more about the PACE program in
Orange County contact CalOptima at (714) 246-8500

Home and Community-Based Waiver Programs
If you are already eligible for Medicaid, (or, in some
states, would be eligible for Medicaid coverage in a nursing home) you may be able to get help with the costs of
some home and community-based services, like homemaker services, personal care, and respite care. States
have home and community-based waiver programs to
help people keep their independence, while getting the
care they need outside of an inpatient facility.
For more information contact your local Area Agency on Aging. In Orange County, contact the Office on
Aging at 800-510-2020. You can also visit the Eldercare

are covered for inpatient respite care and during shortterm hospital stays.
