Penn Asian Senior Services

PASSi is the first and largest home care agency in Pennsylvania focused on the Asian population. It was founded in April 2004 by Im Ja Choi, the current Executive Director,after she discovered that the Philadelphia region lacked any Korean-speaking home health aides qualified to care for her then 88-year-old mother who was recovering from cancer surgery. In 2006, PASSi established the Penn Asian Vocational Institute (PAVI) to teach a Certified Nurse Aide program. Choi has transformed PASSi into Pennsylvania’s largest provider of home care for Asian seniors and a leading vocational school for immigrants interested in entry-level health care jobs. PASSi is one of southeastern Pennsylvania’s largest employers of Asian immigrants with 276 home health aides providing home care in 7 different Asian languages to 288 low-income, frail seniors during 2011. PASSi recently expanded to also offer linguistically and culturally supports and services to Asian adults with intellectual disabilities. Please visit or website for more updates.
