Your Voice Matters!

Good morning KIRC fam!

I would like to take this opportunity to share this information with you, direct from the California Department of Aging. If you live in the Golden State, take a few minutes to check out the survey below and submit your answers.

As a current member of the Equity in Aging Advisory Committee for CDA, and the Northern California Regional Advocate for the California Coalition on Family Caregiving, I cannot stress how important it is for our voices to be heard. Here is your chance!

The first-ever statewide needs assessment for Californians aged 55 years and older just launched. The Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults (CASOA) is not just another survey; it’s your chance to shape the future. Designed by experts and backed by solid statistical validity, CASOA empowers you to voice your needs and preferences. We’re committed to designing programs, supports, and services that are centered around the evolving needs of older Californians.

CASOA isn’t just another survey – it’s a gateway for you to shape the path ahead. Meticulously crafted by experts and underpinned by unwavering statistical rigor, CASOA empowers you to share your needs and preferences. Tell us what you need today and in the years ahead so that CDA can enhance or develop programs, supports, and services to help you and the millions of other Californians over the age of 55. 

We understand that surveys can sometimes feel complicated or intrusive. We respect your privacy and ensure that your responses remain confidential. This survey is also a significant opportunity to gather information about sexual orientation and gender identity, ensuring that healthcare remains patient-centered and of the highest quality across California.

Your insights matter. To participate in the survey, click here to start.

CASOA is available online in multiple languages – English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Hindi, and Arabic. If you need any technical support in accessing the survey, please email us at: [email protected]. For any other questions about the survey, please call 916-970-9948.

Thank you for being a part of CASOA – where your insights pave the way for a better California for All.
