The LIFE program is a proven model of care that allows seniors to live independently while receiving the services and support they need in the comfort of their own home. WHAT SERVICES ARE INCLUDED? The hallmark of the LIFE program is the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), which consists of a physician, registered nurse, dietician, physical, occupational and recreational therapist, social workers, personal care assistants and more. The IDT meets daily to discuss the unique needs of each individual and modify care plans as participants’ needs change.
