Area 4 Agency on Aging — Sacramento County

Area 4 Agency on Aging coordinates resources for older adults and caregivers in Sacramento and six other Northern California counties. The state directory lists its office at 1401 El Camino Avenue, fourth floor, and phone number 916-486-1876. This is an administrative contact point; call before travelling to ask whether a particular service is delivered there or by a community partner.

In Sacramento, Area 4’s county directory connects residents with group and home-delivered meals, caregiver support, health promotion, counselling, and referrals. It is not a single program that approves every benefit: some services are provided by funded partners, while others require a separate assessment, available capacity, or program-specific criteria. Sharing a ZIP code and naming the need—food, respite, transportation, or in-home assistance—helps identify the right provider.

Area 4 also publishes a service directory in multiple languages and pages for each county. Its official channels are a useful starting point, but a referral does not guarantee a place or immediate delivery. Ask who actually provides the service, what documents are required, whether there is a waiting list, and whether a suggested contribution applies. For urgent or medical needs, contact the appropriate provider rather than relying only on a directory.
