Domiciliary Care 
 
Pennsylvania&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.aging.pa.gov/organization/home-community-based-services/Pages/Domiciliary-Care.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Domiciliary Care</a> program helps seniors and disabled individuals access assistance with ADLs&nbsp;when they&rsquo;re unable to live independently. While this program doesn&rsquo;t cover costs within any assisted living facility, it does provide low-income seniors with the opportunity to receive free or low cost care. This program works with&nbsp;individuals and families who open up their homes to seniors in need. Seniors are matched with caregivers and provided with a safe place to live and assisted living services in a family-like setting.&nbsp; 
 
To be eligible for this program, applicants must be 60 years of age or older and require daily support. Applicants must be unable to find a relative who is willing or able to provide the same level of care.&nbsp;While there are no financial requirements of this program, most applicants are Medicaid eligible and/or receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), both of which have strict financial requirements.&nbsp; 
 
To apply for this benefit, seniors can contact the Pennsylvania Department of Aging at (717) 783-1550.&nbsp; 
 
LIFE Pittsburgh 
 
<a href="https://www.lifepittsburgh.org/what-is-life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LIFE</a>&nbsp;is similar to PACE programs available across the country. The program works with low-income senior citizens to provide a full network of health care services through a single organization. The no-cost services available to eligible seniors include assistance with ADLs, medical care, physical therapy, nutritional counseling, nurse visits and case management.&nbsp; 
 
To be<a href="https://www.lifepittsburgh.org/who-we-serve/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> eligible for LIFE</a>, seniors must be aged 55 or older and live in the Pittsburgh area. They must also be assessed by the Allegheny Area Agency on Aging and determined to require a nursing level of care. Financial eligibility requirements can be obtained from the Allegheny Area Agency on Aging. Those&nbsp;who don&rsquo;t meet the requirements may access the program if they pay for their own care.&nbsp; 
 
To learn more about eligibility or to apply, seniors can contact (412) 388-8050 and ask for the Enrollment Department.&nbsp; 
 
Optional State Supplement 
 
Pennsylvania&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssi_st_asst/2011/pa.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">optional state supplement</a> is available to low-income seniors and disabled persons. It&rsquo;s a cash benefit that was created to help individuals who receive long term care pay for costs that aren&rsquo;t covered by Medicaid, such as room and board. The maximum benefit available to individuals under this program is $439.30 per month. 
 
To qualify for the optional state supplement, seniors must meet the same eligibility requirements as the state Medicaid program. Seniors can apply by contacting the Social Security Administration office at (800) 772-1213.&nbsp;
