San Dimas and Los Angeles County provide several free and subsidized resources for their older residents. The following are some examples that can help seniors reduce their care costs, resolve issues with their care providers and socialize with others in the community.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (800) 334-9473 | The role of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman in Los Angeles County is in the hands of WISE & Healthy Aging, a nonprofit organization. It's a free service for seniors facing difficulties with their care providers that they can't resolve. The ombudsman acts as their advocate in addition to educating them about their rights. Other services include providing data about assisted living facilities to seniors looking for the ideal community for their long-term care needs. |
| Military Veterans Affairs | (909) 394-2264 | Military Veterans Affairs in Los Angeles County is a one-stop resource for vets. It can provide them with information about local, state, federal and military benefits, such as VA Aid and Attendance, that can help cover some of their long-term care costs.

Additionally, they can discuss Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, with eligible seniors and provide legal assistance in some cases. |
