LIFE at St. Francis Healthcare

ABOUT THE FACILITY

LIFE at St. Francis Healthcare is a part of Trinity Health PACE. Trinity Health PACE programs are nationally recognized for providing high quality, comprehensive care in the communities we serve.  We are one of the largest PACE providers in the country and a part of Trinity Health, which is one of the largest not for profit, faith-based health care systems in the nation.

Trinity Health PACE programs offer continuous, quality care to the elderly, allowing them the independence of living at home. Seniors who qualify for nursing home care alternatively have the option to receive comprehensive care from an interdisciplinary team of experts, all focused on improving participants’ health.

At our centers, seniors receive clinical and rehabilitation therapy and build relationships with doctors, nurses, and fellow participants – all under one roof.

We serve together in the spirit of the Gospel as a compassionate and transforming healing presence within our communities.
