AtlantiCare LIFE Connection
YOUR LIFE. YOUR HOME. YOUR CARE.
LIFE Connection elder care services from AtlantiCare.
As we age, our needs change — it's just part of life. At a point, we may find that certain activities are more difficult or limiting than they used to be. But not everyone is ready to leave the home they love, the community they know and the independence they've had their whole life. Other times, caregivers looking after a loved one begin to experience increased stress and realize it's time for a little extra support.
When the time comes for you or a loved one to find assistance, know that it is AtlantiCare LIFE Connection's mission to keep its participants living in the community. As a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in New Jersey, AtlantiCare LIFE Connection is a nursing home alternative that gives you a personalized team of health care professionals to provide services to you in a setting of your choosing — whether that's in your home, in our LIFE Connection Center or at one of our other facilities.
We come to you to help with care coordination, transportation, social services, meals and any other day-to-day things you may need assistance with — but none of the ones you don't. Our goal is to keep you healthy and independent.
One stop for everything you need.
LIFE (Living Independently For the Elderly) Connection takes the guesswork out of coordinating care. From setting up and following through with appointments to bringing any necessary medical equipment home to writing and filling prescriptions, we take care of everything. And we’re always assessing and evaluating your situation so that we can adapt and make changes to your care plan and team, adding or removing providers or treatments as needed to support you and your caregivers.
LIFE Connection is for families too.
Coordinating multiple providers, navigating complex care needs, and frequently traveling to and from a nursing home can often overwhelm loved ones — and at times even strain relationships. But this style of older adult care services provides families the opportunity to spend their time together doing things they love, in the place where they’re most comfortable.
Keeping you connected with LIFE Connection.
There still may be times when you’ll wish to be a part of your loved one’s care. So we keep you involved every step of the way, beginning by working directly with you at the initial consultation to determine if this style of care services for older adults is a good fit. Then we’ll decide together what resources are needed to support your loved one — and help alleviate some of the strain you may be experiencing.
Other caregiver resources include:
- In-home training and education for physical therapy, occupational therapy, medication administration and other tasks based on your needs
- Social workers
- A support group with other caregivers
- Periodic check-ins to assess your situation and comfort level and adjust resources and services as needed
Our medical providers are available 24/7.
Our team also includes our contracted network of medical specialists.
Getting out of the house — the LIFE Connection Center.
While aging-in-place care is primarily centered around keeping the participant comfortable at home rather than in a nursing facility, we have a brick-and-mortar LIFE Connection hub where we provide participants a variety of health and wellness services and opportunities to socialize and participate in activities. Transportation is available.
Services offered at the LIFE Connection Center include:
- Primary medical care
- Nursing
- Health education
- Medications
- Rehabilitative therapy
- Meals
- Programming
- Recreational activities
Take the next step to get the aging-in-place care you need.
Schedule a consultation with AtlantiCare LIFE Connection, and we’ll help you build a personal care plan that’s tailored just for you.
Safe care services during COVID-19.
Our mission at LIFE Connection is to care for you completely and dependably at all times. Our care is no less complete or available than it was before the pandemic. But of course, we’re following strict protocols, guidelines and regulations to make sure that your home is a safe place. As your complete coordinator of care, we’ll also facilitate COVID-19 testing and any vaccinations you wish to receive.
