Staying active, connected, and supported in your community is just as important as healthcare. California offers many programs to help seniors live independently and enjoy a fuller life.

1. Congregate Meals & Nutrition Programs

Enjoy nutritious meals in a social setting at senior centers or community sites. These programs also offer wellness tips, light activities, and the chance to meet new friends.

2. Area Agencies on Aging (AAA)

Your local Area Agencies on Aging is a one-stop resource for seniors. They can connect you to:

• Transportation and rides
• Caregiver support
• Legal or benefits advice
• Social and wellness programs

3. Transportation & Mobility Support

Programs such as paratransit, volunteer drivers, or senior shuttles help you get to appointments, classes, or social events—keeping you mobile and independent.

4. Meals on Wheels & Home-Delivered Meals

For seniors who can’t cook or leave home, these programs deliver healthy meals and provide friendly check-ins, helping you stay safe and nourished.

5. Adult Day Programs & Social Activities

Day programs offer exercise, crafts, games, music, and educational workshops. They provide companionship and mental stimulation while giving caregivers a break.

6. Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP)

MSSP helps eligible seniors stay at home by coordinating healthcare, home support, transportation, and safety services. Enrollment may vary by county.

7. Local Senior Centers

Senior centers are hubs for fitness classes, hobby groups, educational talks, tech assistance, and special events. Many services are low-cost or free.

How to Access These Programs

• Contact your local AAA
• Check your city or county senior programs
• Reach out to nonprofit organizations supporting older adults

Services, availability, and eligibility may vary by county.

Stay Connected & Independent

Community support programs help seniors stay healthy, active, and socially connected. Even small steps—such as joining a meal program or a senior center activity—can make a big difference in your quality of life.
