• Memory support outreach and engagement Many of the above services will be accessed via phone or virtually (Zoom), at the LWSB Social Services Office, events, LW clubhouses and in the homes of individuals and families living with memory loss. Enrollment for in-home services will require a no-fee clinical assessment provided by the clinicians of the MST.
All the above services with the exception of respite care programming will be provided at no cost. Respite care programming is expected to begin in January 2024, and more information about that service will be forthcoming.
The LWSB MST is funded in part by a federal grant from the Administration for Community Living, including additional financial support from the Golden Age Foundation and AlzOC. MST services are based on a model of personal care management designed to address the unmet needs of persons living with dementia and provide support for their care partners. Services will be offered in English as well as Korean.
Support for this program has also come from the Golden Rain Foundation, SoMang Society, Pathways Volunteer Hospice, CSULB Center for Successful Aging, LWSB Community Church, Meals on Wheels Long Beach and Orange County, LWSB OPTUM Care Health Center and AlzOC.
