Who can apply
['Seniors and families seeking resources can contact the program. Each referred service has its own eligibility requirements. Information and referral cannot be denied because a person does not contribute.']What help is available
Staff offer resource listings, referrals and help with various forms. Ask about in-home care, meal services, transportation or other needs rather than assuming one referral covers everything.
Documents to prepare
Write down the person’s location, main needs and any urgent safety concern. Ask the referred provider about documents and intake; referral staff do not automatically enroll you in every program.
How to get started
Call 661-868-1000 or 800-510-2020. The program page lists the office at 5357 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield.
After applying
Record provider contacts and follow up directly. Ask for alternatives if an agency cannot serve you. For ongoing care, clarify costs and what the provider can actually deliver before agreeing.
