Long Beach

The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services has established a special resource line for older adults and persons at higher risk of illness who are self-quarantining at home and in need of resources.

If you are in need of support or are calling on behalf of a loved one who is self-quarantining at home, please call 562-570-INFO and select option 5, M-F 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If no one answers, please leave a message and someone will get back to you. One of the City’s social workers, health educators, or librarians, can help you find resources for food delivery, home supplies, prescription delivery services, utility restoration, mental health resources, or connect you to friendly caller programs so you can combat social isolation.
