We understand just how much the comforts of home can make a difference in a loved one’s quality of life. PACE offers a solution to seniors aged 55+ eligible for nursing home care who wish to continue living independently at home. Our team will provide and coordinate the care they need, including medical and personal care, rehabilitation, social interaction, medications, free round-trip transportation, and more, all in one place.
Catholic Health recognizes the importance of allowing seniors to maintain their independence at home for as long as possible. The LIFE program qualifies as a New York State Managed Long-Term Care program and is a Medicare/Medicaid eligible program. There will never be a co-pay, deductible, or coverage gap.
Best of all, programs like LIFE have been proven to improve quality of life and reduce the number of ER visits, hospitalizations, and re-admittance rates.
Our team of geriatric medicine physicians and specialists provides coordinated care that is personalized to meet the needs of each individual. The goal of the LIFE program is to provide medically necessary services to help seniors live as independently as possible.
LIFE is truly all-inclusive care. Participants can receive care from a wide range of medical specialists and professionals, including primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, day-care aides, physical rehab specialists, home care providers, and dieticians. We can also provide services in the participant’s home, day health centers, hospitals, or even long-term facilities if needed. On-call healthcare coverage by doctors and nurses is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
