The Tingstad Older Adult Counseling Center (TOACC)
Founded in 1977, TOACC is a nationally recognized pioneer in providing
comprehensive direct services for older adults and their families.
The program is designed to assist with issues or problems that may
accompany the aging process. TOACC also serves as a training site
for gerontology, clinical psychology, and social work students at
the masters, doctoral and post doctoral levels, and conducts clinical
research in the area of mental health and aging.
As part of the USC Human Relations Center and the Andrus Gerontology
Center, the TOACC has a unique opportunity to participate in some
of the most recent and advanced services, treatment and research
in the United States. The wide range of community services offered
by TOACC are not generally found elsewhere. These include assessment
and treatment of individual and family problems related to aging,
counseling of families and caregivers of persons with Alzheimers
disease and related brain disorders, ongoing support groups, and
special projects that provide individuals and families with the
opportunity to participate in research projects.
Fees for services are based on a sliding scale and some insurance
policies may reimburse. Please call (213) 740-3493 for information
or an appointment.
