Who should consider enrolling in the program?

Older adults, age 60 and older, who need care equivalent to the level of services provided in a nursing home but want to remain in their home and community for as long as possible may qualify for this program. After enrollment in the program, an interdisciplinary team manages your care. In some of UPMC service areas, Community LIFE staff can evaluate your needs and make referrals to needed medical and supportive services to help avoid costly delays and potential complications. If you qualify for this program, Community LIFE will initiate the referral process. You or your physician can contact us for assistance in making the referrals or you can contact your county Area Agency on Aging. The services include personal care, pharmacy, medical equipment, rehabilitation, and hospital care, as needed. It is an inclusive care program, based on your needs.
