Senior citizens have lived long and full lives. As our respected community elders, grandparents, and parents, Senior Citizen Day serves to acknowledge and celebrate those who have come before us and set the foundation for what we have today. This August 21st, be sure to show the seniors in your life how much you appreciate them!
It is important to take care of our elders. That is why the California Department of Aging (CDA) administers a plethora of programs serving seniors citizens. Some of these services include providing healthy meals, supportive assistance for older individuals, promoting healthy aging and community involvement, and support for family caregivers.
