Every November in honor of National Family Caregiver Month, WDACS recognizes the important role of LA County’s caregivers who provide essential care, support and medical assistance to older and dependent adults.

You can support and honor caregivers by raising awareness of caregiving issues, educating communities, and increasing support for caregivers across the country. See below for a listing of caregiver resources and older adult information in LA County and share with your friends & families!

To access LA County’s Older Adults Resource Hub – a new centralized resource hub for older adults, linking residents to 120+ unique senior services available throughout L.A. County, including emergency preparedness, health & wellness and nutrition services, visit here.

For many caregivers, panic begins to set in when their loved one wanders off, but it doesn’t have to be that way! Our Project Lifesaver bracelets were built for at-risk individuals that tend to wander off, monitoring their whereabouts only once they are reported missing by their loved ones. Apply for one for your loved one today by visiting lafound.lacounty.gov
