Legal assistance is offered at the center through the San Fernando Valley Bar Association and seniors who have all types of legal concerns can request a consultation appointment with an attorney.

The center provides both congregate and home-delivered meal programs for seniors.

In addition, case management services are provided for frail elderly seniors who need support services to enable them to continue to live independently and to prevent or delay unnecessary institutionalization. When case management is requested a caseworker visits the senior at home, develops an individualized case plan, and arranges for needed services like transportation, telephone reassurance, in-home support, adult day care and/or counseling. The case plan is monitored and evaluated regularly and services may be provided on a short or long-term basis.
The center's newsletter is published monthly and includes information about current classes, activities, and services.
