10 THE BEST OF MONTEREY BAY® LIVING WELL 2025-2026 Message From the Area Agency on Aging Dear Monterey County Residents, The senior population continues to grow, live longer, and with increasingly complex needs. Locally, over 90,000 seniors residing in Monterey County are age 60 or older and are expected to represent a quarter of the population by 2030. Ensuring that needed services meet the challenges of this growing population will continue to be critical. During these uncertain times, we must continue to build capacity, resources, and access to critical services that serve elders, individuals with disabilities, caregivers, and their families. This will remain a priority for the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) locally, the California AAA statewide, and national AAA/USAging organizations. The County of Monterey Department of Social Services, along with its local AAA, a dedicated network of community service providers, and government agencies, continues to work diligently to provide a range of services and support. Together, we can assist older adults to live at home and in their communities for as long as possible while maintaining optimal health, well-being, independence, and dignity. I want to acknowledge and thank the Department of Social Services staff and the Monterey County Weekly for dedicating their time to help create this resource guide. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the AAA Advisory Council members who volunteer their time to lend their voices and advocate for the needs of seniors, individuals with disabilities, and caregivers in our community. I hope you find this updated Aging and Disability Resource Guide helpful, and I wish you and your families good health and a safe and warm place to call home filled with food, family, and friends. Respectfully, Diana Jimenez County of Monterey, AAA Director & Aging and Adult Services Deputy Director Dear Residents of Monterey County, The Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Advisory Council is pleased to present its 2025–2026 Aging and Disability Resource Guide in collaboration with the Monterey County Weekly. The Advisory Council provides input, guidance, and support to the AAA on matters important to older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers. We extend our appreciation to the staff of the AAA and the many professionals in the aging services network who provide compassionate support and comfort to our senior citizens and individuals with disabilities in Monterey County. We are also grateful for the Older Americans Act, established in 1965, which aims to help older adults live independently and with dignity. This funding is essential for sustaining many senior service programs. As this landscape evolves, the County of Monterey AAA Advisory Council will continue to advocate for the needs of seniors to the best of its ability.

WWW.MONTEREYCOUNTYNOW.COM/LIVINGWELL 11 Estimados residentes del condado de Monterey, La población de la tercera edad sigue creciendo, vive más tiempo y con necesidades cada vez más complejas. A nivel local, más de 90,000 personas mayores que residen en el condado de Monterey tienen 60 años o más y se espera que representen una cuarta parte de la población para 2030. Garantizar que los servicios necesarios satisfagan los desafíos de esta población en crecimiento seguirá siendo fundamental. Durante estos tiempos inciertos, debemos continuar desarrollando la capacidad, los recursos y el acceso a servicios críticos que sirven a las personas mayores, personas con discapacidades, los cuidadores y sus familias. Esto seguirá siendo una prioridad para la Agencia del Área sobre el Envejecimiento (AAA) a nivel local, la AAA de California en todo el estado y las organizaciones nacionales de AAA/USAging. El Departamento de Servicios Sociales del Condado de Monterey, junto con su AAA local, una red dedicada de proveedores de servicios comunitarios y agencias gubernamentales continúa trabajando diligentemente para brindar una variedad de servicios y apoyo. Juntos, podemos ayudar a los adultos mayores a vivir en casa y en sus comunidades durante el mayor tiempo posible mientras mantenemos una salud, bienestar, independencia y dignidad óptimos. Quiero reconocer y agradecer al personal del Departamento de Servicios Sociales y al Monterey County Weekly por dedicar su tiempo a ayudar a crear esta guía de recursos.
