SERVICES
What distinguishes Vida Senior Centers is the one-on-one and small-group attention brandished on all abuelitos who come through Vida’s doors. Our programs and services are provided at no cost to abuelitos and their families. They are delivered bilingually, and cater to the many cultures represented by our abuelitos.

Counseling
Vida offers support and encouragement to help abuelitos stay in control of their independence and to receive the information and resources they need to do so.
