Healthy Aging Center

The Healthy Aging Center (HAC), formerly known as the Senior Links Program, was established in 1999 within the Department of Health and Human Services to create a coordinated system of services to support older adults who may require special assistance to continue living in a safe, desirable, and healthy manner. The program provides professional interventions, referrals, and short-term case management to Long Beach residents (55+) who need assistance finding and accessing resources to maximize their health and wellbeing.

Before a crisis develops, contact us by email at HealthyAgingCenter@longbeach.gov or by calling 562-570-3529 for community resources and support. 

Focus and Work of the Healthy Aging Center

• Case Management: The HAC provides public health nursing and social work case management services, offering home, office, field, and telehealth visits to assess individual needs. Through comprehensive assessments, personalized service plans, health education, advocacy, and linkages to resources, the program helps older adults enhance their well-being and connections to essential support systems.

• Service Coordination: Acting as a central hub for coordinating older adult services provided by the City and external agencies. The HAC identifies gaps in services, explores opportunities to improve access, and strengthens connections to health and social resources. These efforts aim to enhance health outcomes and empower older adults to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

• Community Collaboration: Partnering with City departments and community organizations to promote the integration of Age-Friendly Practices. The HAC ensures that the needs of older adults are considered in the design and delivery of services, fostering inclusivity and accessibility for an aging population.

Long Beach Age-Friendly Action Plan

Long Beach Age-Friendly Initiative

In January 2018, the City of Long Beach made a public commitment to enhance the quality of life of residents as they age by joining AARP's Network of Age-Friendly Communities. The Long Beach Age-Friendly Action Plan is the result of a comprehensive, citywide collaboration aimed at fostering systems and communities that are inclusive, responsive, and supportive of older adults. This plan serves as a community-wide blueprint, designed to align and guide the collective efforts of city departments, community-based organizations, healthcare providers, housing partners, businesses, faith-based groups and residents toward the shared goal of creating a more livable city for older adults and people of all ages.

2025 Long Beach Age-Friendly Action Plan The vision of the Long Beach Age-Friendly Action Plan is that Older Adults are valued and thrive in all communities in Long Beach. Read the full Long Beach Age-Friendly Action Plan
