About the California Department of Aging (CDA)
CDA administers programs serving older adults, adults with disabilities, family caregivers, and residents in long-term care facilities throughout the state. The Department administers funds allocated under the federal Older Americans Act, the state Older Californians Act, and through the Medi-Cal program. This array of federal and state funded programs and services include: information and assistance, in-home services, congregate and home-delivered meals, community service employment, advocacy and protection, health insurance counseling, case management, and long-term care Ombudsman services.
CDA also has program oversight for approximately 200 Adult Day Health Care Centers and 56 Alzheimer's Day Care Resource Centers and administers the Multipurpose Senior Services Program, a Medi-Cal waiver serving over 10,000 seniors throughout the state.
