The Black Elders Appreciation Day was a celebration dedicated to uplifting, honoring, and connecting Black older adults through a culturally affirming experience.

We proudly provided resources and information to attendees alongside community partners, including the Los Angeles County Department of Aging & Disabilities, and the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health.

✨ Together, we celebrate the wisdom, contributions, and legacy of Black elders in our communities.

Today, we joined Mayor Karen Bass, Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power at the Glassell Park Senior Center to distribute nearly 100 free fans to older adults to help them stay safe during the summer heat.

Thank you to our City leaders and our partner agency Mexican American Opportunity Foundation for prioritizing the health and safety of seniors.

Providing fans to older adults during heat waves helps reduce the risk of heat-related illness and offers critical relief for vulnerable seniors who may have limited access to air conditioning or other cooling resources.

LADOA and LADWP will continue hosting Senior Fan Distribution Program events at multipurpose senior centers across the city throughout the summer. Stay tuned!

Senior citizens at the Encino Terrace Senior Center received important scam awareness information from the LADOA team, including tips on how to recognize and avoid scams targeting older adults.

The presentation was provided in both English and Spanish to help ensure seniors across the community have access to critical resources and information that support their safety and well-being.

We’re grateful for our partnership with Project FoodBox, which has provided valuable guidance to our Nutrition Directors on medically supportive food and nutrition strategies.

Read the link in the bio to learn how Project FoodBox is helping older adults combat chronic health conditions through nutritious, tailored meal support and care.

Our department recently recognized an outstanding committee for their work assisting with updates to the Home Delivered Meals Standard Operating Procedures Manual, and developing sample home-delivered meal client welcome packets.

Their efforts help strengthen consistency in services and enhance the experience of older adults receiving meals at home.

Each month, we have the privilege of meeting with the CD8 office to collaborate on issues impacting older adults, and helping connect staff with valuable programs and resources available in the community!

We are grateful to our partners who join us in the work of helping seniors thrive.

Staff from Los Angeles Department of Aging connected with approximately 300 attendees, sharing information about programs and services that support older adults, caregivers, and families across Los Angeles.
