Case Management, Seniors/Elders available at Catholic Charities (Los Angeles)

notes: Program Description Establishing neighborhood community centers in the County of Los Angeles began in 1901 with the creation of Brownson House in East Los Angeles. There are numerous centers dispersed through the regions and located in areas of greatest need. Their location and contact information are listed below. The centers provide case management and comprehensive social services as well as emergency assistance to the homeless and very low income individuals and families. The type of assistance depends on their needs and includes: food; clothing; temporary shelter; utilities assistance; transportation; public benefits assistance; job training; employment referrals; medical referrals; and special holiday activities. The goal is to empower people to become more self-sufficient and independent. -> Older Adult Services and Intervention System (OASIS) Program Description This program provides seniors (60 years and older) with professional case management services and volunteer support that enable them to remain independent and avoid premature or unnecessary institutionalization. By taking care of the older adults, Catholic Charities affirms their value and dignity in society. OASIS provides information and referrals, advocacy and service coordination. Priority is given to older persons who are frail, isolated, physically and/or mentally limited, living in poverty, and without family members to care for them. Case managers visit them in their homes in order to: assess their needs; determine physical and mental abilities; and to develop care plans. Youth and adult volunteers are assigned to clients when home visits and personal assistance are needed.
