    On August 16, 2007, the West Oak Lane NORC (Naturally Occurring Retirement Community) program opened its doors.  Funded by grants from the Green Tree Community Health Foundation and Ogontz Avenue Revitalization Corporation, the West Oak Lane NORC provides assistance to people over 60.

    This free program helps Northwest Philadelphians by giving older adults and those who care for them easier access to the information and resources they need to remain at home as they age.

    We can help you access assistance in many areas, including the following:

    • Social Services
    • Socialization
    • Housing/Property Tax Rebate
    • Home Maintenance and Repair
    • Utility Assistance
    • Medicare
    • Medical Care
    • Mental Health Care
    • Volunteer Opportunities
    • Employment
    • Legal Assistance
    • Transportation

    We can assist you in paperwork completion related to any of these needs.  In many cases, we can visit you in your home if you are unable to easily travel to us.  We also offer a friendly visitor program, and can assist with small errands.
