Elder Care

About our partnership

Making a decision regarding the care and treatment of elder parents and relatives can often be a difficult and emotional one. UCSF offers a benefit at no charge to assist faculty, staff, students, and retirees with the planning and care of elder family members. Elder care specialists will research resources in the community and provide consultation. This benefit is offered in partnership with The Institute on Aging.

The Friendship Line is available at any time of the day for all seniors, 60 and over, who might be feeling depressed, isolated, lonely, grieving, or going through another difficult time and would like to talk with someone. (415) 752-3778
