Annotation	The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) builds on On-Lok's community-based care and financing model for disabled older people who are state-certified as eligible for nursing home care. For this study, the authors used data for a cross-section of some 2,900 PACE participants in early 1997 and classified them by disease, impairment and disability, from which a panel of doctors produced clinical profiles. Cognitive impairment, incontinence and activities of daily living (ADL) disabilities were influential in producing 8 types corresponding to responses in tenure (the more disabled, sicker types likely to be in PACE longer), demographics, health, and informal support.
