Care Management

It ensures quality, cost-effective outcomes by coordinating care and resources, commonly used in healthcare for complex patients, social work, and legal proceedings.

Our dedicated care coordinators provide compassionate, person-centered support, connecting community members with the resources they need to remain safe, independent, and thriving in their own homes.

Lock for Life

Lock For Life is a program available through ElderNet of Lower Merion and Narberth and administered by the Lower Merion Township Police Department. It is intended to provide Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel access to your residence in the event of an emergency where you are unable to open the door.

A key to your residence is stored in a secure metal storage device, similar to a realtor’s lockbox near the entrance to your residence. The access code to your lockbox is ONLY available to Police, Fire, and EMS personnel, it is used ONLY during an emergency, and ONLY if responders are unable to gain access into your home without using force.

In the event Lock For Life is accessed, a representative from the Lower Merion Township Police Department will contact the resident to change the combination as an added security measure.

How much does it cost?

The Lock for Life program is free of charge to all residents of Lower Merion Township and Narberth Borough, ages 55 and older, or people of any age living with a disability or major medical diagnosis.

How do I know this is safe?

The lock box is installed by a police officer. The code to the lock box is only known by first responders and accessed only in the case of an emergency, ensuring your safety.

How do I get started?

You can contact ElderNet or Lower Merion Police, at (610) 649-1000, and tell us that you are interested in joining the Lock for Life program. ElderNet will conduct an assessment to collect information needed for reporting purposes and the Police will the install the box.
