The PACE model of care
Neighborhood PACE is part of a national network of Programs of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
The PACE model of care began from the belief and experience that, whenever possible, older adults with chronic care needs, and their families and caregivers, live better and more fulfilling lives when they are in their own homes and communities.
For over 30 years, NeighborHealth has been proud to support the older adults in our communities through Neighborhood PACE.

Everyone is really nice here and the services are great. I don’t have to worry about preparing a lunch, and all my doctors are taken care of. I don’t have to leave Winthrop for my doctor’s appointments.

An active and independent life
In addition to high-quality health care, Neighborhood PACE provides an exceptional quality-of-living experience. We know that hearing about our program from our members is the best endorsement we can share. Please enjoy meeting a few members of the Neighborhood PACE community!
Theresa Bonfiglio
Theresa Bonfiglio grew up in the North End during the Great Depression. She was one of eight children. Her mother was an avid reader and worked as a bookkeeper, despite having only completed eighth grade. “We were very poor, but everyone was very poor. Those were the Depression days, so no one had anything. But we were very happy. Sometimes, the less you have, the happier you are,” Theresa advises.
Janet Brown
Janet Brown was born on the Caribbean island of Antigua in the late 1940s. Growing up was tough. “I had to wear my clothes for a whole week, and then wash them on Sunday,” Janet recalls. One thing Janet loved to do was knit. “We were always knitting,” she says fondly. “I’ve knitted my whole life.” Things were simpler then.
Tom Greenwood
Tom Greenwood was born and raised in East Boston. “I moved away a couple of times,” he explains, but something always brought him back. Over the years, Tom says, “I’ve seen a lot of changes; some good, some not so good.”
Ann Sullivan
When Ann Sullivan was growing up in the 1950s, Winthrop felt like a different world compared to what it’s like today. Ann’s childhood was idyllic and decidedly undramatic. Like a scene out of Ozzie and Harriet, Ann’s father came home from work every day to a loving wife who doted on their children.
PACE Eligibility & Cost
For more than 30 years, Neighborhood PACE has supported the independence of older adults in our communities. Find out if you’re eligible and how much the program costs or contact us to learn more.

- Qualify for nursing facility level of care as determined by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Once enrolled in Neighborhood PACE, all care and services, with the exception of emergency care must be approved by the PACE health care team and provided through Neighborhood PACE.

What does PACE cost?
All PACE covered services are provided with no co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses for program participants. Neighborhood PACE pays for all medically necessary services covered under Medicare and Medicaid regardless of your original insurance, when approved by your health care team.
Some participants may have a monthly share of cost premium based on income. PACE programs are covered by Medicare and Medicaid (MassHealth) for eligible individuals.
PACE services are also available on a private pay basis. Many participants qualify for zero monthly cost share, or zero premium based on income.
I’ve been here for six years. It’s more than words can tell. The nurses and employees are all so nice. They’re very protective. They always look after me. I tell everyone to come to Neighborhood PACE.
Janet Brown, Neighborhood PACE member, Winthrop
