Community HealthChoices (CHC) is Pennsylvania's main public path to help with long-term-care costs, a mandatory managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) Medicaid program administered by the DHS Office of Long-Term Living and delivered through CHC managed-care organizations (in the Philadelphia region: AmeriHealth Caritas, Keystone First, PA Health & Wellness — verify current roster). Eligibility runs on two tracks — a nursing-facility level-of-care assessment, and a financial test. Pennsylvania's own brand of the National PACE program is called LIFE (e.g., LIFE Philadelphia); it is a separate program from the state's Rx-subsidy "PACE"/"PACENET," so ask specifically about LIFE if you mean long-term-care coverage.
