Did You Know... that LIFE (Living Independently For Elders), an innovative program begun by Penn's School of Nursing nearly a decade ago, has a new home with room to grow? The new LIFE building, which can accommodate up to 500 members, is at 45th and Chestnut streets, at the site of a former nursing home which had been abandoned for eight years. The University, as part of its commitment to its West Philadelphia neighborhood, facilitated the development of the building to meet the needs of the LIFE program, which provides nursing home-level day care, including medical, dental, prescription and personal grooming services as well as meals and social activities for more than 300 frail, elderly adults from West Philadelphia, enabling them to live at home. In addition, the LIFE staff also makes "house calls" providing in-home oversight to members.
