Our History
Since 1998, LIFE has been providing a lifetime plan for all-inclusive care to help eligible frail elderly residents of West Philadelphia. The LIFE Program promotes independence and the highest level of functioning while allowing choice and dignity for our members and their families. LIFE strives each and every day to carry out our mission of healthcare excellence, research, and education.
LIFE follows the national PACE Model (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly), which has a 30 year track record of successfully helping elderly individuals remain in their homes and communities. Although all PACE members must be in need of nursing home care to enroll, only about seven percent of PACE members live in a nursing home nationally. LIFE provides this same level of commitment to assisting members to remain in the community.
LIFE is a service of the Penn Nursing Network (PNN), a division of the University of Pennsylvania's School of Nursing. PNN is a multi-practice health care delivery network that provides community-based health care of the highest quality.
LIFE Adult Day Care Center is licensed and monitored by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging. The LIFE program is monitored for quality and compliance by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
