According to the AARP, more than 10 million adults age 50+ are at risk for hunger every day. This is why we’re so thankful for partners like Family Care Health Resources, who throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, have remained committed to preventing food insecurity by providing food donations to LifeSTEPS residents. Last week, Director of Social Services Naciely Hernandez distributed 50 bags of food to seniors in need at Sunrise Villas Apartments in South LA, developed by our partner AMCAL.

Helping older adults age in place

Supporting LifeSTEPS’ commitment to helping older adults age in place, nursing students from Samuel Merritt University recently held blood pressure clinics at Vintage Oaks and Sierra Sunrise, two affordable housing communities developed by our partner USA Properties. The nurses screened LifeSTEPS residents for high blood pressure and distributed blank tracking charts to bring to their primary care physicians. Residents also received helpful educational materials on safe blood pressure ranges.
