On Lok

“The San Francisco program that invented all-inclusive care for frail elders at home.”

On Lok built adult day health, home care, and housing into one prepaid program for people who would otherwise be in a nursing home. PACE is this model, federalized.

Opened the all-inclusive community-care pattern the U.S. still copies.
