Required next actionVerify the controlling wvOASIS close date and time before any applicant-facing action; then confirm applicant eligibility and adult medical day care readiness, build the implementation roadmap, line-item budget and narrative, milestone and performance metrics, data-integration plan, non-duplication attestation, facility-readiness or CON pathway if applicable, and partnership support; submit no later than the conservative September 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET cutoff unless the controlling portal clearly establishes a later deadline.
Broad Eligibility
Provider-led and nonprofit or community organizations capable of building PACE-aligned services for older adults with complex medical and functional needs in West Virginia. Supporting materials indicate nonprofits may lead, with statewide eligibility and priority for underserved or unserved areas. Applicants do not need to be licensed as a PACE organization at application, but must present a credible roadmap toward PACE readiness. Funded activities cannot duplicate Medicaid- or insurance-reimbursed services.
Atlas Analysis
One of West Virginia's most actionable late-summer RHTP opportunities because it combines eldercare, community-based clinical services, care coordination, data integration and a multi-year pathway toward full PACE readiness. Strong applications will show immediate adult-day-health operating capacity, measurable reductions in avoidable utilization, strong Medicaid/provider/community partnerships and a realistic Year 1-to-Year 5 scaling plan. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 78/100: N9+ may support remote clinical assessment and telehealth workflows as a subcontracted component, but the program is not primarily a technology procurement.
