Volunteer Opportunities

Advocates for Conserved Elders
ACE is a new program developed by WISE & Healthy Aging in conjunction with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Probate Division, to train volunteers to visit elders under conservatorship in long-term care facilities. This program is intended to help reduce or prevent elder abuse and neglect among seniors (and other dependent adults) by providing them with a special advocate who collaborates with the Court's Probate Investigations Office.
