California Is Heading for a Crisis
With its senior population expected to nearly double by 2030, California is heading for a crisis. In November, voters must elect a governor with a master plan — one that addresses the cost and delivery of services our seniors need to age safely and with dignity.

Why We Stand With Seniors
Here are some of challenges seniors struggle with today...
MALNUTRITION
50% of seniors are at risk for malnutrition, which contributes to poor health and higher costs for care.
GERIATRIC-FOCUSED ACUTE CARE
48% of patients visiting emergency rooms in 2013 were over the age 65. About half were admitted to the hospital.
Up to 90% of poor health in the elderly can be attributed to social, behavioral and economic causes, which supportive services help address.
70% of Californians aged 65 or older have at least one chronic condition. As the number of Californians over age 65 increases, the need for better care strategies will skyrocket.
48% of seniors have not been to the dentist in five years or longer and 32% say the condition of their teeth and mouth is poor. Medicare does not cover dentist visits.
