Big news for California’s aging and disability network!

Governor Newsom has signed C4A & CFILC-sponsored SB 1261 (Laird) into law. SB 1261 helps protect the continuity of Aging and Disability Resource Connections (ADRCs) and ensures older adults and people with disabilities can continue to access critical services through California’s No Wrong Door system.

Thank you to Senator Laird, our partners, C4A and CFILC members who helped move this important legislation forward.

Today is Falls Prevention Awareness Day!

On September 22, we highlight the importance of balance, strength and the importance of safe surroundings.

Many falls can be avoided with small adjustments like improving lighting, tripping hazards and making sure to stay active. Together, we can help our older adults in our community stay safe, feel supported and have a comfortable living environment in the community.

Thanks to California Association of Area Agencies on Aging - C4A for visiting our wonderful community partner, Providence Community Health Foundation Napa Valley!

Great spending time at Providence Community Health Napa Valley with Brian Rutledge, PhD () and Liz Fuller from the Assembly Committee on Aging and Long-Term Care.

Providence Community/Collabria is a great example of a No Wrong Door approach, bringing services like PACE, Adult Day Health Care, Information & Assistance, Enhanced Case Management, and Caregiver Support together under one roof. The staff we met with were passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to the people they serve and the community.
