State tentatively selects 27 Northwest Hills towns as PACE pilot service area
Summary
The Department of Social Services said it tentatively selected 27 towns in the Northwest Hills to form a PACE pilot service area intended to balance enrollment viability with reasonable travel times to a PACE center.
Carrie Amero said the state has tentatively identified a pilot service area for Connecticut's PACE program composed of 27 towns in the Northwest Hills.
"We tentatively selected, these 27 towns in the Northwest Hills region to be the the pilot service area," Amero said, explaining the proposed combination of ZIP codes is intended to create a service area large enough to generate enough enrollees while keeping travel times to the PACE center within about 45 to 60 minutes.
Amero said the state based the proposal on a feasibility study and stakeholder feedback and emphasized the need to consider local capacity, cultural needs and transportation when defining a service area. She said further stakeholder engagement in the region will continue as the RFP and program design proceed.
