About us

LIFE Geisinger provides additional independence for older individuals and their caregivers. If older adults live in our service area and meet the requirements listed below the LIFE Geisinger Program can help them stay in their homes while taking advantage of comprehensive daily living and health services. It's the best of both worlds.

LIFE Geisinger (Living Independently for Elders) is recognized by the state of Pennsylvania and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as a PACE provider. PACE means Programs for All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly - those that offer older adults a variety of services designed to maintain health, prevent nursing home placement, and improve the quality of life.

To qualify to become a LIFE Geisinger participant, individuals must:

• Be 55 years of age or older
• Live within the designated service territory in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, and Schuykill Counties
• Be able to live safely within the community with services provided by LIFE Geisinger
• Meet the clinical nursing home criteria as determined by the Area Agency On Aging
