Benevolent Care Fund and Community Outreach
At UPMC Senior Services, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care possible for older adults — regardless of their ability to pay.
Our benevolent care program provides financial assistance and other support services to eligible seniors living in our 17 retirement communities. It allows our residents, who would otherwise be depleting their own assets, to benefit from a variety of critical community outreach programs.
