California’s population is rapidly aging, and the over-60 population is growing racially and ethnically diverse faster than any other age group. By 2030, it is projected that one in four Californians will be an older adult.

This growth — and the needs of an increasingly diverse aging population — demands that Californians take action to ensure older people get the support they need to live well. CHCF’s body of work on older adults involves CalAIM initiatives, home and community-based services, assisted living, and more.

On this page, explore our subtopics and read our featured and recent publishing on older adults in California.

The impacts of aging eventually affect us all. And yet, the needs of older Californians are often invisible to those not experiencing the challenges of aging themselves or caring for an aging loved one. This knowledge center spotlights CHCF’s work on improving care for older Californians with complex needs.
