Long Term Living Training Institute of Pennsylvania

The Long Term Living Training Institute was established in January 2008 to provide consistent training opportunities state-wide. The Training Institute is a collaborative effort of the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, and the Office of Long-Term Living.

The vision of the Pennsylvania Long Term Living Training Institute is maximizing independence, safety, and well-being for adults with disabilities and older adults, their families, and the communities supported by the work of competent, committed, and confident professionals.
