Senior Legal Services is a non-profit law office that provides free civil legal assistance to low-income, disadvantaged, or disabled seniors in Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties. The organization focuses on casework that helps older adults secure basic rights, including issues related to Medicare and Medi-Cal denials, elder abuse and fraud, Social Security benefits, age discrimination, housing and tenant rights, nursing home and caregiver protections, and documents such as powers of attorney and advanced health care directives. By offering direct representation and advocacy before judicial, administrative, and legislative bodies, it addresses barriers that prevent seniors from accessing justice when they cannot afford private counsel or when cases are too complex to handle independently. Based in Santa Cruz, California, Senior Legal Services operates within the legal services sector, aiming to safeguard the dignity, safety, and security of vulnerable seniors while pursuing policy improvements that affect their community.
