Community LIFE is changing the way our communities view aging. We are a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, which integrates population health management and comprehensive health and social services (operating as LIFE – Living Independently for the Elderly). Community LIFE is committed to helping seniors stay at home safely for as long as they are able. Our program brings the region’s experts in geriatric medicine and care together to work as a team in specialized Day Centers, to help older adults enjoy the highest quality of life possible.

Our wide range of services are designed to meet the varied needs of seniors, and include medical care, social services, meals, activities, transportation and much more.

The NP is part of an Interdisciplinary Team with the knowledge and skills necessary to assess, plan care for, and provide service to frail elderly participants.
