Living Independence for the Elderly (LIFE) is a managed care program that provides a comprehensive, all-inclusive package of medical and supportive services. The program is known nationally as the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). All PACE providers in Pennsylvania have "LIFE" in their name. The first programs were implemented in Pennsylvania in 1998.
To be eligible for LIFE, you must:
- Be age 55 or older
- Meet the level of care needs for a skilled nursing facility or a special rehabilitation facility
- Meet the financial requirements as determined by your local County Assistance Office or be able to privately pay
- Reside in an area served by a LIFE provider
- Be able to be safely served in the community as determined by a LIFE provider
