30 LifeSTEPS residents receive free Google smart speakers

Thanks to a collaboration between Partners in Care Foundation, Los Angeles County Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services and Los Angeles City Department of Aging, 30 LifeSTEPS seniors and residents with disabilities in Los Angeles recently received free Google smart speakers.

With the speakers, residents can connect with family, friends and healthcare providers hands-free, call for emergency assistance, check the weather, play music, listen to audio books and much more! We’re so grateful for this donation which will allow residents facing isolation during COVID-19 to stay connected and thrive through technology.
