INFO VAN
The Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) purchased three InfoVans from the Community Outreach for Independent Living (COIL) pilot project, which was funded by a Long-Term Care Innovation Grant and part of Governor Davis’ “Aging With Dignity” Initiative administered by the California Department of Aging. DAAS is the 22nd California Area Agency on Aging to acquire InfoVans.
InfoVans are cargo vans with two-person seating capacity and easily identifiable in style and color. They are mobile information centers that improve access and linkages to the growing health and social service needs of seniors, adults with functional impairments, and caregivers, including those living in rural, urban, and suburban areas, targeting populations with cultural diversities.InfoVans, staffed by DAAS’ Senior Information and Assistance staff, will travel to a variety of locations throughout the County, including community events, senior centers, senior nutrition sites, medical facilities, libraries, schools, and so forth.
Calendars will be posted for each of DAAS’ Desert, East Valley, and West Valley Regional Offices. We hope you’ll take the opportunity to attend an InfoVan event and talk with our staff to find out about services that could benefit you.
For more information, or to schedule the Info Van for one of your events, please contact Senior Information and Assistance at 1-800-510-2020.
