LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – This May, Older Americans Month marks its 56th year of honoring the lives of older adults.

As volunteers, employees, employers, educators, mentors, advocates and more, their insights and experience benefit the entire community.

Communities that support and recognize older adults are stronger. That is why, for more than 30 years, the aging services at Community Care have responded to thousands of local elders in their desire to stay connected and thrive.

Whether through conversations with its Senior Information and Assistance Program or care management through the Multipurpose Senior Services Program, Community Care’s commitment to active living in older adults remains as strong as the interests and talents of those it serves.

By 2040, our community’s older adult population will represent 26 percent of its total population (as compared to 16 percent in 2010).

This underscores the importance of maximizing our elders’ ability to Connect, Create, Contribute as our community ages.
