Within the community, the single best place to begin is your county's Area Agency on Aging (AAA). It is a federally funded program and offers free or low-cost services through public and private agencies. The wide range of services includes domestic help, home health care, transportation, information and referral, adult day care, and legal advice. The AAA's purpose is to keep elders in their homes and out of institutions, for as long as possible. In Santa Barbara county, the local Agency on Aging is in Santa Maria. You may also call 1-800-510-2020 for referral to senior services anywhere in the state of California. If you need help for a relative who lives farther away, call the ElderCare Locator, 1-800-677-1116, which can refer you to the nearest AAA office.
