How to Access Aged Care
Practical guidance for Australia and the United States
Finding care in Los Angeles
Your local starting point
Los Angeles has separate city and county ageing contacts. The California Department of Aging lists Los Angeles County at 626-414-6439 and Los Angeles City at 213-482-7252.
Give your full city and ZIP code when you call so the team can identify the right service area.
Prepare for your enquiry
Write down the type of help needed, preferred days, location and any language or access requirements. Ask about eligibility, current availability, waiting lists and alternatives if the first service cannot help.
For each referral, request the organisation’s name, direct contact details, service area and an explanation of any charges. Ask how to arrange an assessment if one is required.
Compare before agreeing
