Mission 
To provide programs and services for aging seniors, families, caregivers and the community which support and improve their quality of life.

Senior Concerns programs offer supportive resources that will enable a senior to remain as independent as possible for as long as possible. This is achieved by providing essential information, answers to complex questions, care management, meals on wheels, a respite day program, support groups and many other educational and outreach programs. We impact lives positively in both financial and human ways.

Senior Concerns serves Ventura and western Los Angeles counties, special-need seniors, families, health professionals, caregivers and the community at large. Senior Concerns is a 501C3 charity, so your generous donation is tax deductable. You will receive a confirmation email of your donation.

History
In 1975 grass roots support in the Conejo Valley coalesced around a new organization calling itself Conejo Valley Senior Concerns to serving frail seniors and seniors with special needs and their families. That is still the mission of the agency. The first challenge tackled was feeding “the invisible elderly”, a term used to describe homebound seniors. The Meals on Wheels program was established and continues to this day. Over the next decades many more programs have been added to continue to meet the needs of seniors and our community in general such as the Respite Day Program for frail and special need seniors; Senior Advocacy; Care Coordination; Support Groups; Financial Abuse support; and Shuttle Transportation.

Starting in a small house on Hillcrest, known as the Fitzgerald House, Senior Concerns quickly outgrew that setting and through community support built a new center on Hodencamp Road in 1993. Within 10 years the services and programs grew requiring that center to be doubled in size to its current structure. Senior Concerns provides services throughout Ventura County and western Los Angeles County.

Vision
“To be the premier resource for the aging population, their families, caregivers, and the community.”

Future
By 2015, California’s population of 65 and above will increase by 75%. It is projected that Ventura County will be home to 160,000 persons age 65 and over. Senior Concerns continues to be a promise made by one generation to succeeding generations that valued institutions would be there for them.

Funding
All services provided by Senior Concerns are either provided without charge or based on an ability to pay. No one is turned away. Funding is provided through program fees, grants and continued strong community support.
