California has made progress toward a more coordinated system of care, but
rising demand and uneven access show that more work lies ahead. See why sustained leadership and collaboration will be essential to reaching people when they need support.

As California prepares for new leadership, the future of LTSS will depend on whether the state builds on recent gains or loses momentum. Read why the next phase must focus on reaching more people, improving navigation, and matching the scale of growing need.

At CAADS, we’re grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the incredible adult day centers that create such welcoming, supportive, and enriching environments every day. 💜

HCBS can help people remain at home while reducing reliance on more costly care. Yet despite their value, funding and access remain inconsistent—leaving families to navigate a system that does
not reliably support the care people need.

Health care does not stop at the hospital or doctor’s office. Meals, personal care, home modifications, assistive technology, and caregiver support help people stay healthy and independent at home. Read why HCBS is a vital part of the care system.

When care is coordinated, systems can do more than provide individual services—
they can help people navigate changing needs, avoid gaps in care, and stay connected to their communities. Read how the PACE model shows what’s possible for Californians.

When services work together, older adults and their families gain more than convenience—they gain stability, confidence, and the support to remain connected to home and community. See what coordinated care can make possible.

A Note of Thanks to Dr. Joaquin Arambula

As Dr. Joaquin Arambula completes his final term representing the 31st Assembly District, CAADS wants to recognize the impact he has had on our community.

As an emergency room physician from the Central Valley, Dr. Arambula brought a caregiver's perspective to Sacramento that few legislators can match. His service on the Assembly Committee on Aging and Long-Term Care kept the needs of adult day services centers and the families who rely on them squarely in view, at a time when our sector needed champions who understood both the clinical and human stakes of long-term care. His work on the Assembly Health Committee, and his years chairing the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, helped protect the safety-net programs that so many of our members' participants depend on every day.

CAADS is especially grateful for his sustained push to expand access to care for California's most vulnerable residents, work that reflected the same mission that drives adult day services: keeping people connected to their communities, supported with dignity, and out of institutional settings whenever possible.

On behalf of our member centers, the families they serve, and the caregivers who hold it all together, thank you, Dr. Arambula, for your years of service and for never losing sight of the patients behind the policy.
