Today, employing over 650 persons and with a budget of over $90 million, Philadelphia Corporation for Aging is the largest of 52 Area Agencies on Aging in Pennsylvania and the fourth largest of nearly 700 AAAs in the country.  It is the largest private non-profit AAA in the United States. Since 1979, AAAs in the Commonwealth has been operated under the authority of the Pennsylvania Department of Aging.

PCA’s mission is to improve the quality of life for disabled and older Philadelphians and to assist them in achieving their maximum level of health, independence and productivity.  PCA coordinates a comprehensive and accessible system of services primarily for individuals age 60 and over, living at home or in residential settings.  Utilizing various governmental funding streams, PCA also serves needy non elderly adults through several programs.  Primary consideration is given to those with the greatest socio economic need.

Most PCA services are provided by contractual agreements with over 100 agencies and community organizations. The majority of funding for aging services comes to PCA through the Pennsylvania Department of Aging in the form of an aging block grant which outlines federal and state spending requirements relating to service populations, and includes federal dollars from the Older Americans Act and state funds from the Pennsylvania lottery.

PCA provides an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our consumers as well as our excellent benefits package and a non smoking environment to its employees.

All positions require criminal history checks and physical/drug testing.  PCA is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer and encourages minority and multicultural applicants.
