Are there services specifically for seniors?

Alameda County Social Services offers a variety of programs and assistance tailored specifically for seniors. These services aim to support the unique needs of older adults and ensure they maintain a good quality of life. One key service is the provision of Information and Assistance, which connects seniors with resources and services such as transportation, in-home support, social activities, and health care options. Additionally, there are programs focused on nutrition, providing meals through senior meal programs and access to food resources for eligible individuals. The County also offers financial assistance, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs, to help seniors meet their basic needs. There are options for legal assistance as well, addressing issues like housing and elder abuse. For those interested in recreational and social opportunities, there are community centers that host various classes and activities designed for older adults to engage in socialization and learn new skills.
