For many families, a phone call to social services is their first introduction to the sometimes bewildering network of programs and services for seniors. Our information and referral specialist can answer questions about elder care, suggest solutions, mail information and make referrals when appropriate. We have the most current information on services for seniors. Our information and referral specialist will follow up to find out if further assistance is needed. For more information call (310) 952-1775.
