Stanislaus County Fall Prevention Coalition

Senior Coalition of Stanislaus County

Mission:

“To enhance the physical, mental, and social well-being, while reducing fall risk for seniors and persons with disabilities in Stanislaus County, in a collaborative community effort through education, coordinated services and best practices for independence.”

The Senior Coalition is comprised of 17 organizations. The Senior Fall Prevention Coalition was formed in 2007 to focus on issues around fall prevention for seniors and persons with disabilities 60+ in Stanislaus County. In 2012, we expanded the Coalition priorities to include issues around Long Term Services and Supports Systems, and changed the Coalition name to The Senior Coalition of Stanislaus County (SCSC). We are committed to making Stanislaus County a livable community for all of us as we age.

Members of the Senior Coalition created a “Caregiver Information, Services and Resources” booklet to help educate seniors and their caregivers about local resources. To obtain a free copy, call the Senior and Caregiver Information & Assistance line, (209)558-8698, or follow the link for “Caregiving” on this website.
