BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Federal Older Americans Act (OAA) promotes the welfare and dignity of older adults by providing valuable services in order to enable older adults to be independent, remain in their communities, and assist them to be engaged citizens. In 1976, the State of California designated the County of San Bernardino as an Area Agency on Aging. As a result of this designation, DAAS receives funding to administer AP services.
AP services assist approximately 90,000 eligible clients annually. Services include congregate and home delivered meals, information and assistance, legal assistance, supportive services, personal care, assisted transportation and bus passes, family caregiver support, disease prevention, health promotion and Long-Term Care Ombudsman services, including elder abuse prevention programs.
