How PACE costs work in Big Stone Gap
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. For dual-eligible enrollees who qualify, covered PACE services are typically little or no out-of-pocket cost. That is eligibility-driven, not a local private-pay median for Big Stone Gap, VA.
- Eligibility (high level): usually age 55+, living in the PACE service area, certified as needing nursing-home level of care, and able to live safely in the community with PACE support at enrollment. States and sites set the exact rules.
- Private-pay case: people who meet clinical/geographic rules but are not on Medicaid may pay a monthly premium set by the PACE organization. Ask the local PACE site for its private-pay rate; we do not invent one.
- Official overview: Medicare.gov PACE.

Providers appear with their government data: license status, capacity, inspection history, and a CMS star rating where the service has one. The order is the date we last verified each record, newest first. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.
