What it reported doing in 2024

Pace Iowa d/b/a immanuel pathways was established for the purpose of developing a program of all-inclusive care for the elderly (pace). Pace is a program for older adults and people over age 55 living with disabilities. The program provides community-based care and services to people who otherwise need nursing home level of care. An interdisciplinary team of professionals provides coordinated care to enrolled participants. Pace provides all the care and services covered by medicare and medicaid, as authorized by the interdisciplinary team, as well as additional medically necessary care and services not covered by medicare and medicaid. Pace provides coverage for prescription drugs, doctor care, transportation, home care, checkups, hospital visits, and nursing home stays whenever necessary.

Operating model

Revenue model: Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model: Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
