Californians are living longer than ever before. A Californian who reaches age 65 looks forward to an average of 20.4 more years of life. The quality of those years is as important as their number. This policy brief profiles Californians age 65 and over who may experience a compromised quality of life due to falls, disability or food insecurity. This information can be used to improve policies and programs that can prevent these problems and better support older adults who already face them.
