All of these programs belong to the Pennsylvania LIFE Provider Alliance (PALPA), which represents organizations that operate Pennsylvania LIFE programs across the state.  LIFE provides what are known as managed long-term services and supports – medical, social, and personal services – to Pennsylvanians who need the types of services provided in a nursing home but wish to continue living independently in the community.  Through education and advocacy, PALPA strives to represent the interests of LIFE before Pennsylvania’s state government and promote greater understanding and use of LIFE to serve Pennsylvania’s seniors.  For inquiries about PALPA, click here.
