1. I am a senior in need of services, what do I need to do?

Care Management is a program that provides support and services to frail and disabled seniors and adults. The goal is to put services in place to enable seniors to live as independently as possible, avoiding inappropriate institutionalization. This includes services for caregivers as well as for senior (ages 60 +) caregivers who are caring for a minor child or children.

These services include client intakes and assessments, referrals to needed services which may include medical evaluation, legal assistance, behavior management, transportation and in-home assistance, as well as respite, supportive counseling and support groups for caregivers. The service area is Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lennox and Ladera Heights. For more information, call 310-412-4380

2. I am homebound and would like to have meals delivered to my home, how do I do that?

We serve Home Delivered Meals (meals-on-wheels) to seniors who are homebound because of illness, age or frailty. These are the same meals we serve in our dining room and we serve them the same five days per week. We have a frozen home delivered meal program as well and can often provide meals for weekends.

The Home Delivered Meals Program is a temporary service designed to help you through a period where you can’t get out, cook or shop for yourself. A care manager will make a determination if you qualify. There are services available if you are homebound for a longer period of time.

3. I have a family member with Alzheimer’s and I need help, how can I get the help I need?

The Care Advocate project is an integral component in the ongoing care management services available through the Senior Center. Through a grant from the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association, Inc., a Care Advocate is available to assist clients with Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias, their caregivers and families.

These services include client intakes and assessments, referrals to needed services which may include medical evaluation, legal assistance, behavior management, transportation and appropriate out-of-home placement, as well as respite, supportive counseling and support groups for caregivers.

The Care Advocate identifies and accesses the informal neighborhood networks and conducts community education presentations. For more information, call 310-412-4380.
