The name On Lok means "place of peace and

happiness" in Cantonese, and this reflects both

our roots and our philosophy of care. Through five

related not-for-profit entities, On Lok provides healthcare, housing and intergenerational programs that meet the needs of seniors. The largest and

oldest component of On Lok’s services is On Lok Lifeways, whose mission is to provide quality, affordable care services for the well-being of the

frail elderly. We do this through On Lok Lifeways, a fully-integrated and

licensed health plan that delivers medical and long-term care to those looking for

an alternative to a nursing home. At present, On Lok Lifeways helps about 950 elder adults maintain their independence – by providing all necessary primary and specialty medical care, adult day health care, in-home health and personal care, social work services and hospital and nursing home care.

Our vision is to continually lead the movement to improve care for the elderly.
