Venango Community Celebrates the Grand Opening of a New LIFE Center in Oil City

On Friday, September 8 at 11:30 a.m., LIFE-NWPA will cut the ribbon on its first Alternate Care Setting Center (ACS) at 800 Grandview Road, Oil City, PA. LIFE-NWPA professionals and participants will be joined by U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA-16) and Pennsylvania State Representative R. Lee James.

LIFE-NWPA’s ACS will serve as a hub for socialization and provide services and resources to local seniors who participate in the LIFE program. The new Center will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. LIFE participants can enjoy a hot breakfast, lunch, snacks, and wellness activities and games like Bingo, fun physical activities, and memory games.

LIFE also provides participants with transportation to and from the Day Center. The Center provides laundry rooms and showers, where participants can get assistance with bathing from personal care assistants or have a safe place to shower independently.

Marcie Campbell, Vice President of Marketing & Intake, noted that the ACS will allow LIFE-NWPA to continue serving seniors with chronic care needs and their families in their homes and communities. “LIFE-NWPA has successfully provided preventative and holistic healthcare to seniors since 2008. Seniors who would otherwise be residing in a skilled nursing facility or who may be at risk of institutional placement are cared for in the comfort of their own homes with the support of the LIFE-NWPA team. We look forward to continuing our work with the Venango community, social service agencies, and medical providers,” stated Campbell.

Due to this new site opening as an Alternate Care Setting, which allowed the site to open sooner to serve the seniors’ needs in this area, clinic and therapy services will be provided by LIFE’s neighboring centers in Clarion and Crawford Counties. LIFE-NWPA plans to open this site as a full PACE center as the census and need grow.

“Our relationships and collaboration with other service providers are why seniors who choose LIFE have a high success rate of aging in their own home and can avoid nursing home placement and hospital admissions,” said Campbell.

LIFE, or Living Independence For the Elderly, is part of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE. If you or a family member wants to live independently at home but are having difficulty managing without assistance, the LIFE-NWPA program is there to help. Services may include, but are not limited to, skilled care and in-home nursing, wound care, on-call nursing, and therapy as well as medications, medical supplies, home care, personal care, meals, transportation, day center access, support for caregivers, transportation and much more.

LIFE services are income-based and paid for through Medicare and Medicaid, so how much is covered depends on eligibility through those programs. There are no deductibles or copayments for any drug, service, or care approved by the LIFE team. If a participant is not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid, they may pay for LIFE privately.

For enrollment, the basic criteria include age 55 or older, being certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as eligible for nursing home-level care, and being a resident of one of the twelve counties LIFE-NWPA serves.

New College Admissions and Scholarship Guidebook Reveals Proven Strategies for Success

College admissions/scholarship strategist Tracy Barbour has published 12 Steps to Maximizing College Admissions and Scholarships to empower students and parents to successfully navigate the highly competitive college admissions process. The book shares her proven strategies for helping students get into top-tier schools and win the most scholarships and other financial aid.

Clarksville, TN - USA | August 22, 2023 -- Tracy Barbour, MSM, college admissions/scholarship strategist, recently released an ebook that shares valuable insights that students can use to get accepted to top schools and win “free money” to fund their education. The book, entitled 12 Steps to Maximizing College Admissions and Scholarships, is an easy-to-follow guide that students (and parents) can use to be successful with the highly competitive college admissions process.

“This book is an essential tool for students/parents who want to master the complexities of applying for college and scholarships—with the least amount of time and stress while maximizing their results,” Barbour says.

12 Steps to Maximizing College Admissions and Scholarships is available at Barnes and Noble, Apple Books, Smashwords, Rakuten Kobo, Palace Marketplace, and other retailers.

For a limited time, everyone can download a FREE complete copy of the ebook at Barnes and Noble at the following link: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/books/1143943295?ean=2940167337619&st=AFF&2sid=Draft2Digital_7968444_NA&sourceId=AFFDraft2Digital

They can also access the book for free at Rakuten Kobo at: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/12-steps-to-maximizing-college-admissions-scholarships

In her college admissions and scholarship guidebook, Barbour addresses a wide range of important areas, including:

• The best approach for getting accepted to top-tier schools.
• Tips for writing winning essays for college and scholarships
• The right way to ask for—and get—more financial aid
• Recent college admissions trends to watch
• Good-to-know insights to give students a competitive edge
• The true impact of test-optional applications
• The power of sending supplemental information to colleges
• Valuable resources to enhance students’ knowledge and results

The book is full of practical advice that any student/parent can easily follow to win more college acceptances and scholarships. They can use the outlined strategies to:

• Gain the confidence and tools to get positive results
• Get a head start on preparing to submit college applications
• Avoid beginning at square 1 and wasting time
• Focus their efforts and energy in the right areas
• Reduce unnecessary frustration and stress
• Avoid loans and graduate debt-free

The release of 12 Steps to Maximizing College Admissions and Scholarships is timely given the increasingly competitive nature of the college admissions process. “Many colleges and universities are not requiring ACT or SAT scores, so there has been a surge in students applying—especially to elite schools,” Barbour says. “This has created a more challenging environment for students who are submitting applications, making it more difficult for them to win acceptance and scholarships from their desired schools. However, the step-by-step methods in my book can help clarify, simplify, and facilitate the entire process for students and parents who implement them.”

12 Steps to Maximizing College Admissions and Scholarships is an outgrowth of the personal experience Barbour gained from being a college admissions/scholarship mentor who has spent 15 years helping high school students win more than $20 million in scholarships, grants, and other financial aid. She has helped some students individually win $640,000, $393,000, $340,000, and $170,000 in college funding. And she helped her own daughter and son graduate from high school with $500,000 combined in financial aid. Now she is committed to using her expertise to help other students successfully manage the college admissions process—which has become even more competitive in recent years.
