The Commission on Aging is looking for additional members.

The commission acts in an advisory capacity to the Area Agency on Aging and the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors on matters concerning senior residents.

The commission focuses its efforts on such issues as the following:

• Development of community centers in strategic areas of the County to ensure provision of accessible services to all senior residents.
• Promotion of services that enable seniors to remain in their homes for as long as possible.
• Identification and prevention of elder abuse.

Applicants are being sought from all areas of the county. Preference will be given to those applicants who are 60 years and older.

The deadline for submitting an application is May 10.
