How PACE costs work in Sunnyvale
PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a Medicare and Medicaid program that bundles medical and social services so eligible older adults can stay in the community. With Medicaid there is no monthly premium. With Medicare only, the enrollee pays a monthly premium for the long-term care part of the program plus a Part D premium. Nobody pays a deductible, copay, or coinsurance for care the PACE team approves.
- Eligibility (high level): age 55 or older, living in the PACE service area, certified by the state as needing a nursing-home level of care, and able to live safely in the community with PACE support. The local program confirms the rules.
- Private pay: someone who qualifies but has neither Medicare nor Medicaid can pay the PACE premium themselves. Each organization sets its own premium, so ask the local program for its rate.

PACE near Sunnyvale: how service areas work when your city has no program
Our directory shows no PACE organization based in Sunnyvale, and that is normal. PACE programs are approved for ZIP-code service areas that often span a county, so the right question is which organization's service area includes your address.
Why the city page is empty
PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a Medicare and Medicaid program, not a facility. One organization takes over medical care, day center, transportation, meals, therapy, and in-home help for people 55 and older who need a nursing-home level of care but can still live safely at home with support. Each organization is approved for a fixed set of ZIP codes, so where you live decides which program you can join, not which city is on the sign.
The organizations we list in the Bay Area are based in San Francisco (On Lok PACE), Oakland (Center for Elders' Independence), Daly City and Menlo Park (North East Medical Services and WelbeHealth). Whether any of them serves a Sunnyvale ZIP code changes as programs expand, and our data records where an organization is licensed, not every ZIP it serves. Medicare's PACE finder searches by address and is the fastest way to get a definitive answer.
What to ask when you call
Ask whether your ZIP code is in the service area today, how long the state level-of-care assessment takes, and whether there is a waiting list for the day center nearest you. Ask for the Medicare-only premium in writing if the person enrolling does not have Medi-Cal.
If you have Medi-Cal, or both Medicare and Medi-Cal, you pay no monthly premium for the long-term care part of PACE and no copay for any service the care team approves. If you have Medicare only, the organization charges a monthly premium for the long-term care part plus a Part D drug premium, and each program sets its own rate. Ask for the private-pay figure in writing before you enroll.
If PACE does not reach you yet
Santa Clara County families who do not qualify or are outside every service area usually look at three things: Medi-Cal's In-Home Supportive Services for paid help at home, adult day health care centers for daytime medical supervision, and the county's Area Agency on Aging for caregiver respite. The California PACE page lists every organization we have in the state.
