SOS (Senior Outreach Services) is a fee–for- service senior care program which provides a safety net for relatives and friends who need help caring for their loved ones. Skilled professionals assess the needs of vulnerable and frail clients throughout Los Angeles, and work with clients and their families to develop appropriate plans, obtain needed senior care and provide on-going follow-up and monitoring. SOS is the Ultimate in senior care services.
S.O.S. clients receive the personalized care of the community’s most established agency in providing senior care for the elderly. Friendly and knowledgeable care managers are available to make regular visits to check on our clients’ needs and well being, monitor caregivers, respond to any changes, as necessary and coordinate all senior care. Our services are available in most of the Greater Los Angeles area.
Following a comprehensive assessment, with recommendations and referrals, our staff are available to locate, coordinate, and supervise all necessary in-home and community based senior care services, including:
• Attendants or companions who can run errands, prepare meals, do housekeeping and laundry, and provide escort to doctor visits and other appointments as well as a variety of other senior care services.
• Caregivers to assist with medications, bathing, dressing and walking.
• Transportation to wherever you need to go.
• Home visits by nurses, hairdressers, therapists and other professionals.
• Home safety: evaluations for clean- up, repairs,
arrangements for grab bars and other modifications.
Our staff has vast knowledge of placement alternatives when those needs arise.
We also provide on-going monitoring and updating to family members, consultation and counseling, and advocacy, as needed.

As with individuals of all ages, older adults may experience issues related to mental health. For many
seniors, the stigma is more severe since most seniors grew up in an era when having a mental disorder
diagnosis meant you were ÒcrazyÓ and institutionalization was likely. However, treatment can be
successful, and key to sustaining quality of life.

This is especially true with matters of health and aging. Talking about aging and planning
for its accompanying challenges may not be easy, but it may help parents and children avoid
crises later on.
