What geographic area does CARIE serve?

CARIE is a local organization with a national reach. The geographic area that CARIE serves can depend on the program. CARE LINE Advocates are able to help elders and caregivers wherever they live. They help to address issues and challenges related to aging with information, guidance and referrals. CARIE’s Long Term Care Ombudsman program provides advocacy and information and helps resolve complaints for elders in long term care settings (nursing homes, assisted living, personal care homes, adult day programs, etc.) in Philadelphia. Our PA-SMP (Pennsylvania Senior Medicare Patrol) is a federally-funded statewide peer-education program to prevent health care fraud. However, the truth is that wherever you may live, CARIE staff are able to either help you directly or guide you in the right direction.
