LIFE (Living Independently for Elders) is a comprehensive
program that provides healthcare services and social activities to
seniors who are nursing facility clinically eligible, but want to
live independently in their homes. LIFE is modeled after the
Federal Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). The
LIFE model of care is centered around the belief that it is better
for older adults and for their families if their chronic care needs
are provided in the community whenever possible.
PHA partners with two LIFE providers, Mercy LIFE and
NewCourtland LIFE, to offer the program on site at two PHA senior
properties - the Pratt Apartments at Greater Grays Ferry Estates
and Germantown House.
