About Senior LIFE PACE

Senior LIFE is committed to enhancing the ability of seniors to live safely in the community by coordinating comprehensive healthcare and supportive services for our members, provided at the LIFE Center and complemented by home care services.

Senior LIFE is a Medicare Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) operating as a LIFE program in the state of Pennsylvania. It is an innovative model of care for seniors 55 years of age and older who are eligible for Medicare and Medical Assistance or able to pay privately, and who are medically eligible.

We enable seniors to maintain both their quality of life and their independence by providing a wide array of support services designed to help them address their personal, physical and social needs. We serve the healthcare needs of medically eligible seniors living at home.

Our program is an ideal alternative to nursing home placement, providing members with a comprehensive care plan that allows them to live at home longer and happier.
