WISE & Healthy Aging Charity Profile
WISE & Healthy Aging is a multi-service, non-profit organization serving seniors throughout Los Angeles County, with emphasis on low-income and/or underserved individuals. The team at WISE & Healthy Aging works to promote and improve the well-being, independence and self-esteem of seniors, and to prevent premature institutionalization whenever possible.
WISE & Healthy Aging is the result of the November 1, 2007 merger between WISE Senior Services (WISE) and Center For Healthy Aging (CHA). The merger created a pooling of a wealth of expertise and resources that furthers its mission-based activities and expands its services and provides for greater community impact.
