The California Department of Aging contracts with and oversees the local Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) that coordinate a variety of services for older adults, adults with disabilities, informal caregivers, and family caregivers.

You can locate the AAA in your area by selecting your county on the Find Services in My County page of this website.

In addition to the AAA sponsored programs, the California Healthier Living Coalition website includes many evidence-based fall prevention and chronic disease self-management workshops offered by a variety of organizations, including health care providers. These workshops are often open to adults of all ages.
