About LIFE Pittsburgh
LIFE Pittsburgh, a growing nonprofit organization who believes everyone deserves the opportunity to age with dignity, autonomy and joy.

Our health teams of geriatric physicians and nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, rehabilitation specialists and other health care professionals assess our Participants' needs and desires, plan and approve services with them and their family or caregiver, monitor for changes and provide timely interventions. Primary care and community services are provided through our Day Health Centers and through our in-home program according to an individual Participant's needs, honoring the dignity of every participant we serve.
