The Northern Area Companies
It began in 1968 with just one company - - Sharpsburg Community Center, which was to become the Northern Area
Multi-Service Center of Allegheny County (The Center).  Today there are five companies that form a Human Service
Network providing a variety of needed programs and services to thousands of people each year.  Collectively, the Northern
Area Companies.

The Center, the parent company that provides a wide range of community service programs, is headquartered in Sharpsburg
in what was the former Sharpsburg United Presbyterian Church.  The Center operates a number of senior citizen centers
scattered throughout the northern sector of Allegheny County.  It operates paratransit, care management to the elderly, and
to individuals and families under the age of 60.  In addition, The Center operates a residential program and senior center
program for adults who have developmental disabilities.  Allegheny Valley Employment (AVE) is the newest offering
sponsored by The Center, and provides job placement services to Welfare recipients.

Landmark Home Health Care Services is our first home care agency, providing skilled nursing, home health aide services,
physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Northern Home Care is a second home care agency that was created to provide home health care services emphasizing long
term care, including nursing home diversion services.  Currently it provides in-home service programs for the elderly and
individuals with disabilities under the age of 60, as well as to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.
