Lending a Helping Hand

We have compiled various resources, tips, and personal stories from community members for solo agers and those who would like to help their older friends but may not be able to do so without legal designation and documentation. Thank you to Little Tokyo Service Center, Staci Toji, and the Iyashi Care team for their assistance with these articles.
