The Department of Social Services has received funding for The Local Aging & Disability Action Plan (LADAP). Collaborating with SDSU Center for Excellence in Aging & Longevity, the Department aims to develop action plan that enhance the livability of the community and cater to the present and future requirements of Madera's elderly, individuals with disabilities, and caregivers. The objectives of the LADAP grant program are in harmony with California's Master Plan for Aging (MPA) and the state's dedication to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.

Madera County is committed to nurturing a vibrant community for its aging population. To gain insights into strengths and areas needing improvement, a survey is being conducted. Your input will help identify the needs and challenges faced by older adults and individuals with disabilities. The survey results will guide efforts to enhance Madera County, creating a more supportive and age-friendly environment. If you are 50 years or older, a caregiver, or living with a disability, your feedback is valuable to us!
