Mobility Aid Program

The Mobility Aid program is one of the five core programs of the Golden Age Foundation (GAF). It provides a variety of free equipment designed to promote greater freedom and independence for shareholders with mobility impairments and decrease the risk of falling. Mobility Aids are loaned to residents of Leisure World in six month intervals. Renewal of a loan agreement is required for each six month interval.

Two volunteers staff the office each day, Monday-Friday from 9-11 a.m. in Clubhouse 6. The after-hours telephone assistance line is staffed by volunteers to provide information and urgent assistance when needed. It is 562-431-9589.

There are five types of mobility aids in a variety of sizes in the Mobility Aid Center: wheelchairs, transport chairs, four-wheel rollators with seats, knee rollators and two wheeled walkers.

The GAF is always looking for new volunteers wanting to get involved with any of the many programs provided. To get involved, call 562-431-9589 and leave a message. The call will be returned within 24-48 hours. For more information, go to www. goldenagefdn.org.

Feliza Dixon (l) and Roberta Johnson volunteer on each Wednesday from 9-11 a.m. in the Mobility Aids Office.
