Envisage Life

HOME-BASED LICENSED CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT PROGRAM SERVING WESTERN PA.

ENVISAGE IS A LONG-TERM PLANNING SOLUTION FOR ADULTS AGE 60+ THAT ALLOWS THEM TO ANTICIPATE THEIR FUTURE CARE NEEDS. PLAN MEMBERS ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES AND CARE IN THEIR OWN HOMES FOR AS LONG AS SAFELY AND MEDICALLY PRACTICAL. AFTER A MEMBER'S ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED, HAVING EXECUTED THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS, THE MEMBER WILL BE VISITED BY A PERSONAL WELLNESS & CARE COORDINATOR. THE PERSONAL WELLNESS & CARE COORDINATION TEAM WILL MAKE REGULAR VISITS AT LEAST ANNUALLY TO MEMBERS TO IDENTIFY ANY CHANGES IN HEALTH AND FUNCTIONAL STATUS. WHEN CHANGES OCCUR, ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE MADE AND, WHEN COVERED BY THE PLAN, WILL BE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE MEMBER ACCORDING TO THE PLAN OPTIONS CHOSEN AT ENROLLMENT. ENVISAGE IN 2019 STARTED TO OFFER FOUR ADDITIONAL MEMBERSHIP PLANS TITLED; SILVER ASSURANCE 250, SILVER ASSURANCE 500, ASSURANCE 250 AND ASSURANCE 500. THESE PLANS WERE IMPLEMENTED TO OFFER MORE CHOICE AND LOWER PRICE OPTIONS. ASSURANCE OFFERS FOUR CHOICES WITH LOWER ENTRANCE FEES AND MONTHLY FEE DUE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A LIFETIME CAP OF EITHER $250,000 OR $500,000. FURTHER, THE PLAN HAS A DAILY CAP OF $200 PER DAY.
