The Area Agency on Aging is pleased to present this 2005/2007 edition of the Senior Resource Directory to the Santa Barbara County Community. Since 1975, the Central Coast Commission for Senior Citizens has served Santa Barbara County as the Area Agency on Aging. Hundreds of persons have worked together as members of the AAA Advisory Council, Board and many committees to improve our community’s response to the needs of older persons and adults with functional impairments. Each year we ask for new volunteers to work on these important efforts. Volunteers can serve the community through work with the Area Agency on Aging Board of Directors, Advisory Council, Legislation/ Advocacy task force and many other committees. Our vision is a community where its residents are assured a quality of life through services that are available, accessible and affordable. Please consider joining us in achieving this mission.
