About Us
Alliance on Aging was established in 1970 by a group of concerned local citizens who wanted to help seniors remain safely in their own homes for as long as possible.
What We Do
From our humble beginnings as a volunteer-driven initiative, we have grown into a multi-faceted agency providing a wide range of services and programs designed to ensure older adults can live safely, with dignity and independence, in their own homes.
From transportation and healthcare to taxes and counseling, we provide a wide range of programs and services to seniors, adult children, caregivers, and “baby boomers” who are approaching and preparing for their senior years. With offices in Salinas and Monterey, and outreach efforts spanning the county, we are committed to making Monterey County a better place for older adults and people with disabilities.
