SANTA MONICA/WESTSIDE
GUIDE TO HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES
Community and Cultural Services Department Human Services Division
April 2004
The City of Santa Monica is pleased to present to you this Resource Guide, an annually updated listing of services in Santa Monica and on the Westside. This guide is intended as a starting point and we encourage you to contact each agency for more information about its current services and programs. Consider the following questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Does the agency accept all types of insurance, Medi-Cal or participating in an HMO? What current language capabilities do they have? (i.e., Spanish, Korean) Do they have a sliding fee scale? Is there a waiting list? Do they provide transportation? What are current eligibility requirements? Are there any restrictions? What are the hours of operation? What other services are offered at the agency?
Also, when looking for client services, search under different categories. For example, a client with Alzheimer’s Disease may find services under both Older Adult Services and Disability Services. Clients who are veterans may also be entitled to special programs administered by the Veteran’s Administration. This is not a complete list of resources in Santa Monica and on the Westside. Agencies listed should not be interpreted as a recommendation or an endorsement by the City of Santa Monica. If you know of any omissions or corrections, please send corrections to: City of Santa Monica Human Services Division 1685 Main Street, Room 212 Santa Monica, CA 90401 Phone: (310) 458-8701 Fax: (310) 458-3380 E-mail: human-services@santa-monica.org TTY: (310) 458-8696
