What We Do
The mission of the Napa/Solano Area Agency on Aging is to advocate for and enhance the quality of life, health, independence, and dignity of older adults in Napa and Solano counties.
Our state mandate is to provide leadership in addressing issues that relate to older adults, develop community-based systems of care that provide services which support independence, and promote citizen involvement in the planning and delivery of services.
Background
The current Napa/Solano Area Agency on Aging was established in August 2018, through a collaboration between Napa and Solano counties, under the guidance of the California Department of Aging.
Operating under a Joint Exercise of Power Agreement (JEPA) between Napa and Solano counties, the Solano County Department of Health and Social Services provides the staffing and organizational infrastructure for the N/S AAA.
The N/S AAA receives funding and guidance from the Older Americans Act and Older Californians Act through the California Department of Aging. Funds are distributed to local service providers based on the Four-Year Area Plan with guidance from the Advisory Council on Aging and the Oversight Board.
