CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF AGING

The California Department of Aging (CDA) oversees a variety of programs designed to support older adults, individuals with disabilities, family caregivers, and residents of long-term care facilities throughout the state. By providing essential services such as nutrition programs, caregiver support, and advocacy for residents in long-term care settings, the CDA plays a crucial role in improving the well-being of California’s aging population and those with disabilities.

Through its numerous initiatives, the CDA ensures that seniors and individuals with disabilities have access to the resources they need to live independently and maintain a high quality of life. The department also offers programs aimed at assisting family caregivers, helping them navigate the challenges of caregiving while ensuring that vulnerable individuals receive the care and support they need in their communities and long-term care facilities.
