Who We Are
Formed in 1898, LifeCare Alliance is central Ohio’s first in-home health care agency, Ohio’s first agency to provide visiting nurses, and the nation’s second agency to deliver Meals-on-Wheels. LifeCare Alliance is a not-for-profit organization that provides a comprehensive array of health and nutrition services to older adults and medically challenged or homebound residents of central Ohio through its signature programs: Meals-on-Wheels, Senior Dining Centers, Wellness Centers, Help-at-Home, Visiting Nurses, The Columbus Cancer Clinic, Project OpenHand-Columbus, Groceries-to-Go, IMPACT Safety and Senior PetCare. The Agency’s mission is to lead the community in identifying and delivering health and nutrition services to meet the community’s changing needs.
LifeCare Alliance has emerged as a national leader in merger collaborations and program assumptions, having successfully completed numerous combinations in the last eleven years, including Meals-on-Wheels of Madison, Marion, Logan and Champaign Counties, Project OpenHand-Columbus, The Columbus Cancer Clinic and IMPACT Safety. These mergers have eliminated or reduced costs and the redundancy of services in central Ohio, resulting in more funds for programs, enhanced services and an increase in client access to basic needs.
LifeCare Alliance has begun several social entrepreneurship endeavors to provide added funding for our clients, including L.A. Catering, meal sales, corporate wellness programs, immunizations and travel vaccines.
What We Do
LifeCare Alliance assists older adults or medically challenged residents in Franklin, Madison, Marion, Champaign, and Logan counties through its signature programs. Our services help clients remain independent and in the comfort of their own homes. For each older adult or medically challenged person LifeCare Alliance helps keep in their own home, Ohio taxpayers save $62,000 per year.
