SERVICES:
Many elders are isolated in their homes for a number of reasons. A lack of transportation and limited English skills (especially among Lao elders) make it difficult to get around, which contributes to their isolation.
LAOA provides assisted transportation services within a 12-mile radius of our center for eligible elders aged 60+ who live in North Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, New Hope and Robbinsdale.
