Seniors Services

Senior Services Program

Welcome to our Senior Services Program, dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors across Los Angeles. Our commitment to comprehensive care extends beyond our Senior Nutrition Program, which serves 1600 delectable and nutritious meals daily across 44 zip codes. Alongside our dine-in services, inclusive of an invigorating exercise program, we take pride in nourishing not only the body, but also the spirit of our cherished seniors.

In addition to our Nutrition Program, we offer a wide range of essential social services designed to meet the diverse needs of our community. Our utility bill assistance program, CalFresh support, and free emergency alert response devices ensure that seniors have the necessary resources to lead a worry-free life. For those seeking in-home assistance, our dedicated caregivers provide compassionate care tailored to individual preferences, while our housing assistance program ensures a safe and secure home for all.

As part of our commitment to holistic care, we also offer a reliable and convenient Transportation Program. Seniors can count on our door-to-door service, transporting them to medical appointments, grocery stores, and exciting field trips. Our caring drivers ensure that seniors can maintain their independence and stay engaged with the community, fostering connections and creating cherished memories.

Our Impact

At our core, we believe in fostering a warm and supportive community, where seniors can thrive with dignity and independence. Join us on this enriching journey as we strive to make every day a joyous celebration of life for our beloved seniors in Los Angeles.

WLCAC operates the largest senior citizens program in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Five multi-purpose centers in the City of Los Angeles provide recreational activities, educational programs, health screenings, field trips, day care, and hot meals to the elderly.

Thousands of meals are prepared and served daily to the centers’ clients and to seniors at several satellite meal sites. In addition, hot meals are delivered each day to elderly or handicapped clients who are unable to leave their homes. Other WLCAC services to senior citizens include in-home care, transportation and escort assistance for shopping or medical appointments, and referrals to other social service providers. Services are provided according to an individual plan of care in a structured comprehensive program that provide a variety of social, psychosocial, and related support services in a protective setting.

Pilot Program for Diabetes Self-Management Funded

With funding from Archstone Foundation, WLCAC will design and pilot Shaped to Fit, a diabetes education program that bridges the gap between the content of the already well-established Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP), originally developed by Kate Lorig, DrPH, Stanford University, and the reality that faces older adults in South Los Angeles. In addition to informally augmenting and piloting the DSMP, Shaped to Fit will also include complimentary workshops to health care and aging service providers to help them develop a racial equity lens to apply to their practices.

Shaped to Fit has two primary goals:

1) Improve health access, health, health care utilization, and literacy by educating Black and Latino older adult patients and health care and aging services providers; and

2) Improve nutrition, movement, and medication self-management for South LA older adults living below the poverty line.
