Physical Therapist

Habitat Health was founded in 2023 to deliver fully integrated health and social care to older adults on Medicare or Medicaid who wish to remain living independently in their homes and communities.

The company operates its model through the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly ("PACE") in collaboration with local community partners.

For these older adults, Habitat Health has the opportunity to significantly improve clinical outcomes, extend lives and preserve families - whether of kin or of choice.

More than 2.2 million Americans could benefit from being enrolled in a PACE program, yet less than 5% of eligible Americans are enrolled today.

Habitat Health has been designed to address challenges that have kept the PACE program subscale. The company will serve older adults in partnership with local care partners, beginning first in California with Kaiser Permanente, and then nationally.

The company is supported by Kaiser Permanente, Town Hall Ventures, and New Enterprise Associates. For more information, go to www.habitathealth.com.

At Habitat Health, we envision a world where older adults experience an independent and joyful aging journey in the comfort of their homes, enabled by access to comprehensive health care.

To achieve this, we provide personalized, coordinated clinical and social care as well as health plan coverage through the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly ("PACE") in collaboration with our leading healthcare partners, including Kaiser Permanente.

Habitat Health offers a fully integrated experience that brings more good days and a sense of belonging to participants and their caregivers.

We build engaged, fulfilled care teams to deliver personalized care in our centers and in the home. And we support our partners with scalable solutions to meet the health care needs and costs of aging populations.

Habitat Health is growing, and we're looking for new team members who wish to join our mission of redefining aging in place. To learn more, visit
