New resource is launched to help connect seniors

CITY OF SEAL BEACH

The City of Seal Beach has launched SeniorCityzen, a senior resource started to support and check in with seniors who are socially isolated as a result of the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders.

The resource allows Seal Beach seniors to connect with city staff (volunteers) who may schedule a call to receive regular check-ins via telephone to chat and/or to receive referrals to community resources during this difficult time.

To participate, email Senior-Cityzen@sealbeachca.gov

or call (562) 431-2527, ext. 1600. Seniors are asked to leave their name and phone number, and staff will return their email/call to set up a chat and/or answer any seniorresource related questions.

SeniorCitizen is geared for people 60 and above who are facing social isolation and are looking for someone to talk to, along with getting referrals to other senior-centric organizations.

For more information about SeniorCityzen, contact Assistant City Manager Patrick Gallegos at pgallegos@sealbeachca.gov or (562) 431-2527, ext. 1308.
