Need Answers on Aging?
You're in the right place! Answers is Orange County's leading resource
guide on aging, with information ranging from how to enroll in
Medicare, how to choose a retirement community, and how to care for
a loved one. Available in print and online
at www.coaoc.org, Answers is proudly
published by the Council on Aging
- Orange County, a locally based nonprofit agency. We are honored to have
served local seniors and their families for
over 42 years.
Helping Seniors Remain Healthy,
Connected and Protected
We provide an array of no-cost
programs and services to assist seniors
and their families in navigating the
aging experience. Annually, we assist
over 275,000 individuals throughout
Orange County and the Inland Empire. Our programs and services
are funded by foundations, individuals and corporations who support
seniors through gifts and grants to our organization. We also manage
a several government contracts.
We are proud to bring Answers to you, annually, at no charge. Our
Editor spends much of the year collecting articles to ensure that you
have the most relevant content, checklists and quality information to
make the aging process easier. Please keep this copy of Answers handy
so you can refer to it all year long. If you need a copy for a friend or
family member, just let us know or stop by your local senior center or
library. If you contact one of our advertisers, please let them know that
you read about them in the Answers Guide.
Interested in Volunteering?
The Council on Aging's programs and services are possible because
of our talented staff and over 400 dedicated volunteers. We have
volunteer opportunities that range from one hour per week to those
that require training and certification. Volunteering to help enhance
the life of a senior is an experience you'll never forget. Call us at (714)
479-0107 for more information. We are here to assist you or a loved
one. We Understand. We Care. We Help.
