San Dimas and Los Angeles County provide several free and subsidized resources for their older residents. The following are some examples that can help seniors reduce their care costs, resolve issues with their care providers and socialize with others in the community.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (800) 334-9473 | The role of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman in Los Angeles County is in the hands of WISE & Healthy Aging, a nonprofit organization. It's a free service for seniors facing difficulties with their care providers that they can't resolve. The ombudsman acts as their advocate in addition to educating them about their rights. Other services include providing data about assisted living facilities to seniors looking for the ideal community for their long-term care needs. |
| Military Veterans Affairs | (909) 394-2264 | Military Veterans Affairs in Los Angeles County is a one-stop resource for vets. It can provide them with information about local, state, federal and military benefits, such as VA Aid and Attendance, that can help cover some of their long-term care costs. Veterans Services Officers (VSO) can also direct vets and their spouses to the nearest VA medical centers and clinics, in addition to helping them fill out forms and submit applications for benefits and services. |
| Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) | (213) 738-4004 | Seniors ready to apply for Medicare and those already enrolled can use the free services provided by HICAP counselors. The counselors can help seniors understand different Medicare plans, determine the best ones for their needs and submit applications. They can also discuss private health care insurance but won't try to sell plans. Additionally, they can discuss Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, with eligible seniors and provide legal assistance in some cases. |
| San Dimas Senior Center | (909) 394-6290 | Located within the civic center, San Dimas Senior Center is the hub for the city's older residents. It appeals to people with a diverse range of interests, from creative writers and quiltmakers to fitness fans and those who want to improve their computing skills. There are also digital photography, needlework and jewelry-making classes. Adult excursions are common, with seniors regularly visiting local casinos and sports stadiums, while national events, such as Halloween, are cause for celebrations involving local entertainers and shared meals. |
San Dimas-area assisted living communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all assisted living communities in California are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in California page for more information about these laws.
