Seen Health Invests $22M for PACE Care Centers

LOS ANGELES—Seen Health, a health care organization focusing on aging-in-place services and culturally-focused care models, announced it has invested $22 million in funding to expand access to its culturally-focused care centers for eligible seniors. The company said the first center is set to open in California and will be built upon the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) model.

The PACE model aims to deliver comprehensive medical and social support for seniors with chronic conditions who are covered by Medicaid or Medicare. The care model intends to provide an alternative method of care to nursing homes by enabling seniors to stay in their homes and age in place. Seen Health seeks to make PACE care more accessible by providing community-focused, technology-enabled care centers and in-home care.

The founders of Seen Health, brothers Xing and Yang Su, have more than a decade of aging care support and technology experience.

“We experienced firsthand the challenges of caring for our grandparents,” the Su brothers said. “Despite having a resourceful and supportive family, ensuring our family members had sustainable, quality care was daunting. With Seen Health, we are building a care model that reflects the same level of care and attention we wished for our own grandparents, making high-quality care accessible to many more of the millions of seniors and their families who deserve exceptional care.”

The first Seen Health center, which is set to open in Los Angeles County’s San Gabriel Valley, intends to serve the local Asian and Pacific Islander community. Seen Health aims to provide care models and centers that have a cultural focus, including providers and staff who speak participants’ native language, family involvement in care, the incorporation of Eastern medicine and cultural activities.
