Sacramento County is taking a significant step toward ensuring a more livable and accessible future for its aging and disabled residents. By 2030, one-fourth of the County’s population will be 60 or older, and currently, approximately 200,000 residents live with a disability. In response to these growing needs, the Department of Child, Family and Adult Services has launched the Local Age and Disability-Friendly Action Plan (LADAP), a comprehensive initiative shaped by years of advocacy and community input. Sacramento County is proud to partner with the California Department of Aging and AARP’s Age-Friendly Network of States and Communities to achieve this goal.
On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors formally adopted the LADAP resolution, reinforcing the County’s commitment to improving access to essential resources for older adults and people with disabilities. This plan aligns with the five bold goals of California’s Master Plan for Aging:
- Housing for All Stages & Ages – Ensuring accessible and affordable housing options for residents of all ages.
- Health Reimagined – Expanding healthcare access and wellness programs tailored to older and disabled adults.
- Inclusion & Equity, Not Isolation – Fostering community connections and reducing social isolation.
- Caregiving That Works – Strengthening support for caregivers and long-term care services.
- Affording Aging – Addressing economic challenges that impact aging residents.
Celebrate the LADAP Launch
Sacramento County will celebrate the launch of LADAP on March 17 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Sacramento State Union Ballroom. All Sacramento County residents are invited to attend, with registration open until room capacity is reached.
