The California Department of Aging (CDA) is a government agency within the California Health & Human Services Agency that administers programs aimed at supporting older adults, adults with disabilities, family caregivers, and residents of long-term care facilities across the state. Its work relies on funding from the Older Americans Act, the Older Californians Act, and Medi-Cal, with a network of Area Agencies on Aging and other contracted organizations delivering services such as meals, employment assistance, and supportive services designed to promote independent living, healthy aging, and community involvement. CDA also oversees programs like the Multipurpose Senior Services Program and the Community Based Adult Services program, serving seniors through Medi-Cal home and community-based waivers and certifying Adult Day Health Care Centers. The department collaborates with multiple state departments and external entities on topics including transportation, housing, accessibility, emergency preparedness, nutrition, dementia care, and fraud prevention to advance wellness and quality of life for Californians. Based in Sacramento, California, CDA operates under state government administration and serves the broader public sector focused on aging, disability support, and caregiving needs.
