COMMUNITY-BASED NEIGHBORHOOD LEGAL SERVICES

SeniorLAW Center provides services not only by telephone and walk-in intake at its center city offices, but throughout the communities of Philadelphia, through home visits, outreaches throughout the city, special projects at community and senior centers, and at its six community-based intake sites. 

SeniorLAW Center staff and panel attorneys provide services to homebound, disabled and chronically ill elders in their homes or at nursing homes and hospitals, when appropriate.  SeniorLAW Center’s Homebound Elderly Legal Project, launched in September 1999, has made these services more readily available to those most in need. 

SeniorLAW Center conducts outreach, workshops and special legal services projects throughout community, senior and family sites in Philadelphia, including those which bring corps of volunteer attorneys to sites throughout the city to provide individual services, such as writing wills, powers of attorney, and living wills. 

COMMUNITY LEGAL CLINICS

SeniorLAW Center is most proud of its six community-based legal services clinics at sites throughout Philadelphia.  SeniorLAW Center legal staff members provide services on regularly scheduled days in the neighborhoods and the languages of our elderly clients, in comfortable and familiar settings, striving to make SeniorLAW Center’s services as accessible as possible. 

SeniorLAW Center’s community partners are:

By providing services in the communities that need them most, SeniorLAW Center makes its services extraordinarily accessible and effective.

SeniorLAW Center is always eager to expand our services to new sites and populations of elders!  Please contact us if you have ideas for a venue for a new community clinic.
