Our Involvement in the Bay Area’s Elderly Community
Eldercare Services actively advocates—legally and socially—for the rights of aging adults. We are leaders in our field; and our commitment to supporting the Bay Area’s elderly community extends beyond the office and long after we punch out. We do this by:
- Pioneering programs such as a program for people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease
- Teaching classes and workshops
- Facilitating support groups
