Satellite Senior Center to Open at Loma Alta Park in May 2025

Following the devastation of the Altadena Senior Center (ASC) by the Eaton Fire, the Los Angeles County Department of Aging & Disabilities (AD) is pleased to announce the opening of a new Satellite Senior Center at Loma Alta Park, scheduled for May 10, 2025. This temporary facility will serve as a critical community hub for Altadena clients who lost their center, offering vital services and programs to support their ongoing health and well-being.

Until the Loma Alta Park Satellite Center is ready, the department has partnered with the La Cañada Flintridge Library to provide interim services. Residents are encouraged to visit the library, where a variety of programs continue to be offered, including fitness classes such as yoga, tai chi, and line dancing, along with workshops like tax information sessions and mental health support.

The new Satellite Senior Center at Loma Alta Park will play a key role in supporting the community’s recovery, offering a space for older adults and individuals with disabilities to engage in social activities, access essential services, and connect with peers. The park, which is undergoing extensive renovations following the fire, will also feature new amenities, including an early childhood education center, a satellite library, and spaces for community events. These efforts are part of a broader County of Los Angeles initiative to revitalize the area and provide much-needed resources for families, children, and older adults affected by the disaster.

Supervisor Kathryn Barger has been instrumental in securing support for the revitalization of Loma Alta Park, ensuring that it serves as a cornerstone for community recovery. The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks) has led efforts to transform the park into a hub of services and support for residents, demonstrating the strength of collaboration in the face of adversity.

“We are committed to helping the Altadena community heal and rebuild, and the opening of the Satellite Senior Center at Loma Alta Park is an important step in that process,” said Dr. Laura Trejo, Director of the Aging & Disabilities Department. “Our priority has always been to provide a dependable source of community and care.

Even during this period of transition, we remain focused on delivering the same trusted services and fostering meaningful connections that our clients rely on every day,” added Anna Avdalyan, Assistant Director of AD’s Centers Branch.

The launch of Loma Alta as a facility hub marks an exciting milestone in Altadena’s recovery journey, reaffirming the local government’s dedication to restoring critical services and creating a safe, welcoming space for all residents.
