ABOUT THE FACILITY
[Register to View]
Mercy LIFE is a new health care choice for seniors living in Western Massachusetts. We are a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), tightly coordinated care and support designed to help seniors continue to live safely at home and avoid moving into a nursing home.
ABOUT PACE
The PACE model of care is unique but not new. It originated more than 40 years ago in a San Francisco community that found nursing home care to be financially infeasible and culturally inappropriate. A unique system of care named On Lok (Cantonese for “peaceful happy abode”) was formed to care for their frail seniors’ medical and social needs at home. The On Lok model has been steadily growing across the country to more than 100 PACE programs today.
HISTORY & MISSION
Mercy LIFE is part of the Sisters of Providence Health System, which has a rich history of providing innovative health and social services to Western Massachusetts communities for more than 140 years, when the first Sisters of Providence began meeting the medical, social and educational needs of individuals and families in the greater Holyoke area.
