Enrollment

The Albright LIFE Intake and Enrollment staff will assist you through the enrollment process. This process includes a home visit by our assessment team, a clinical assessment by the Area Agency on Aging, and a pre-admission visit to our center to meet our Care Team. Call the LIFE Center at (570) 322-5433 and ask to speak with Sandy Hill, our Intake and Enrollment coordinator, so that we can help you every step of the way. 

If you are clinically eligible for the LIFE program, you may also be eligible for special Medicare and Medicaid benefits that would pay for your participation in the LIFE program. Our Intake and Enrollment staff can help you understand: 1) how Medicaid can help; 2) how to utilize long term care insurance; or, 3) how to participate in LIFE by paying a monthly premium.
