Riverside County Office on Aging was designated on June 18, 1974, by the Board of Supervisors, as a County Department on Aging for Planning and Service Area (PSA) 21. It serves as the official Area Agency on Aging throughout Riverside County, California.
The Office on Aging is one of 52 county departments and is located within the city boundaries of Riverside (West County Office), with a satellite office in Indio (East County Office). Although there are two (2) community-based offices, each office can be contacted by calling one telephone number to handle all inquiries and needs: 1-800-510-2020.
Riverside County Office on Aging, under the Federal Older Americans Act and Older Californians Act, is charged to provide leadership in developing a system of care services for older persons and adults with disabilities in Riverside County. Under the governance of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and a 17 member citizen Advisory Council, the Office on Aging provides customer-centered services based on the vision, purpose, core value, and promise statement defined in our Strategic Plan 2016-2020: The Changing Face of Aging.
