Frequently Asked Questions

Trinity Health LIFE New Jersey serves seniors in the community and in our Center. Staying independent and remaining at home is important for seniors, but sometimes living safely at home can be a challenge. Trinity Health LIFE New Jersey understands this and we help seniors live safely at home. Seniors in our program benefit from a wide range of healthcare services provided in our PACE Center or in the home.

Program payment is determined based on Medicare and Medicaid eligibility. Typically, services are free to those who qualify for Medicare and Medicaid, but some participants are required to pay monthly fees if they  are over income or asset limits determined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

Many participants are enrolled in Medicare and qualify for Medicaid. You are likely eligible for this program if you:

• Are 55 or older.
• Live in the service care area.
• Are certified by the state at a nursing home level of care.
