Founded
in 1977, TOACC is a nationally recognized pioneer in providing comprehensive direct
services for older adults and their families. The program is designed to assist
with issues or problems that may accompany the aging process. TOACC also serves
as a training site for gerontology, clinical psychology, and social work students
at the masters, doctoral and post doctoral levels, and conducts clinical research
in the area of mental health and aging. As part of the USC Human Relations Center
and the Andrus Gerontology Center, the TOACC has a unique opportunity to participate
in some of the most recent and advanced services, treatment and research in the
United States. The wide range of community services offered by TOACC are not generally
found elsewhere. These include assessment and treatment of individual and family
problems related to aging, counseling of families and caregivers of persons with
Alzheimer's disease and related brain disorders, ongoing support groups, and special
projects that provide individuals and families with the opportunity to participate
in research projects. Fees for services are based on a sliding scale and some
insurance policies may reimburse. Please call (213) 740-3493 for information or
