what we do

Services are provided:
- by a Nurse and/or Medical Care Coordinator
- to Pennsylvania residents
- in the person's home environment
- without discrimination
- at NO CHARGE
who we serve
Any Pennsylvania resident with a developmental disability can request assistance or be referred to the PA Elks Home unit for the county where they live. A developmental disability is a disability that is manifested before the person reaches 22 years of age. It may result in physical or mental delays or in a combination of both. Services can continue throughout a person’s lifetime if needed. Home Service Units are located throughout Pennsylvania.
