C4A was thrilled to join
California Association for Adult Day Services, CalPACE, and California Association of Public Authorities for IHSS for a joint day in the field, visiting Adult Day Services and PACE programs.

Each site offered a unique look at the services, supports, and opportunities available to older adults and people with disabilities. It was wonderful to see firsthand how these programs provide choices and help people remain in their communities.

Thank you to our partners and hosts Center for Elders'​ Independence and Choice in Aging for a great day of learning and collaboration!

In her latest blog, C4A Executive Director Christina Mills shares the experiences of her two grandmothers, her own perspective as a disabled person, and why California needs to do more to support older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers.

California has spent time studying options for a publicly funded long-term services and supports benefit. It’s time to bring aging and disability advocates together and turn those conversations into action.
