How to Use These Senior Support Guides
This page is a starting point for people who are trying to help an older adult in Los Angeles County but are not sure which question to ask first. Some readers are adult children trying to organize support for a parent. Others are case managers, volunteers, housing staff, library staff, or donors who want to share useful information without overpromising what will happen next.
Start with the guide that matches the situation in front of you. If the issue is family planning, use the family and caregiver guides. If you are helping from a community role, use the community helper guides so the handoff stays respectful and privacy-conscious. If you want to donate supplies or equipment, use the donation guides and call before bringing or sending anything so the team can confirm current needs and safe handling.
Start With the Situation in Front of You
If you are not sure which page to read first, use this quick decision guide. It is designed for real families and helpers, not just search engines.
If the need is urgent or safety-related, do not wait on a website guide. For emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For non-emergency support navigation, call All Seniors Foundation so the team can help you choose the next practical step.
- A family member needs a plan. Start with the family planning guide, call checklist, or parent conversation guide.
- A professional or volunteer wants to refer someone. Start with the case manager, library staff, community center, faith community, or meal program guide.
- A donor has supplies or equipment. Start with the matching donation guide and call first before bringing, shipping, or promising items.
- You need a broad overview. Use the core resources section for the main free senior help page, What We Provide, Donate, and Contact pages.
Family and Caregiver Guides
Use these guides when a parent, spouse, neighbor, or loved one may need help with planning, care coordination, transportation, supplies, benefits questions, in-home support, or local senior resources. The goal is to make the first conversation calmer and more organized.
Community Helper and Professional Guides
These resources help case managers, apartment teams, library staff, volunteers, faith communities, and meal program helpers share senior support information carefully. They focus on clear handoffs, privacy, role boundaries, and practical language that avoids making promises on behalf of All Seniors Foundation.
Donation Guides for Los Angeles Donors
Donation pages are intentionally call-first. They are meant to help donors prepare better questions before offering items such as incontinence supplies, hygiene products, mobility equipment, blankets, clothing, activity supplies, cooling supplies, or other senior-related donations. Current needs, safe condition, timing, and whether an item can be used may change, so call before bringing or sending anything.
Donation guide note: these pages are informational and do not promise item acceptance, pickup, delivery, tax treatment, repair, storage, or distribution. The safest next step is to call first.
