Description

At least every four years, the U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) requires CDA (California Department of Aging) to submit a new State Plan on Aging outlining California's goals and objectives to serve older persons. The State Plan was developed with input from the public, AAAs (Area Agencies on Aging), California Commission on Aging, State Legislature, and State, Federal and local departments and agencies on issues affecting older individuals. This plan is required by AoA in order for the State to receive federal OAA (Older Americans Act) funding.

The goals include:
GOAL I: Empower older Californians, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers to easily access the information they need to make informed decisions.

GOAL II: Enable older Californians, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers to be active and supported in their homes and communities.

GOAL III: Enable older Californians, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers to be healthy.

GOAL IV: Protect the consumer rights of older Californians and adults with disabilities and assist them to obtain needed benefits.
