Through regular visits, volunteers become advocates, confidantes and friends. Friends to the Elderly welcomes volunteers of all faiths and provides non-denominational social service and assistance to all elderly persons who are in need or wanting companionship. Friends to the Elderly provides Volunteer Opportunities throughout Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. Volunteers are matched with an isolated elderly person living close to their home or work. Through regular visits, a caring friendship is developed.

A team of physicians, nurse practitioners and clinical social workers offers health care services designed to keep seniors active, healthy and independent. Health Center medical staff diagnose and treat common problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, depression, incontinence, difficulty with walking and other age related concerns. We offer professional services including counseling, case management, information and referral and financial assistance for those that meet certain guidelines. We also run a weekly cultural club, Cafe Europa.
