The California Department of Aging (CDA) has released a new
report –
California 2030: Recommendations for a Future-Ready California
Aging Network. As a continuation of Master Plan for
Aging work, CDA partnered with Collaborative Consulting and a
Steering Committee featuring stakeholders from the key entities
within the state’s aging network to examine what it will take to
prepare for the growing older adult population. CSAC’s Supervisor
representative on this committee was Mariposa County Supervisor
Rosemarie Smallcombe and we extend our gratitude to her for her
commitment, leadership, and significant contributions throughout
this process.
Following a year of meetings, learning opportunities, and
discussions, the CA 2030 report outlines a series of
recommendations across nine different areas. Many recommendations
are important for the work counties do to serve our aging
population including recommendations related to funding levels,
service availability and delivery, Area Agency on Aging (AAA)
designation, performance metrics, and workforce. The
recommendations are intended to guide future decisions by CDA and
partner organizations to strengthen the aging network. CSAC is
appreciative of the inclusion of the county perspective in these
discussions and looks forward to a continuing partnership with
CDA as any action steps are taken in response to the
recommendations in the report.
CDA is hosting a webinar for those who are interested in learning
more about the CA 2030 report.
