LIFE is a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). This model of care is centered around the belief that it is better for older adults and their families if their chronic care needs are provided in the community whenever possible. This innovative program provides services to those who would otherwise need nursing home care to help them remain in their own home or the home of loved ones.

The LIFE Program promotes independence and the highest levels of functioning while allowing choice and dignity for our members and their families.
