About ACE

The ACE (Advocates for Conserved Elders) project is a program developed by WISE & Healthy Aging in conjunction with the Los Angeles Superior Court Probate Division. Trained volunteers visit residents at least twice monthly and provide the conservatee with companionship, socialization, and serves as a special advocate to report signs of abuse or neglect.

Volunteer for ACE

What does an ACE volunteer do? Be a friend! Visit a conservatee twice a month in a residential care facility -- monitor the resident's care, well-being, health and safety. Most of all, establish a supportive relationship with the conservatee!

We are scheduling the next two-day training for ACE volunteers. Attendance at both training dates is required to become an ACE volunteer. The training will take place at the Ken Edwards Center in Santa Monica, at 1527 4th Street, 90401, in the lobby level. The training is free and breakfast snacks and lunch will be served on both days. Attorneys will receive 13 hours of MCLE Credit for attending this training. Below are the instructions for parking.
