Greetings and Happy New Year. As your county supervisor, providing services to seniors in need has been a major priority. By 2030, older adults are expected to make up one-quarter of California's population, increasing the demand to invest in senior-focused services. I'd like to bring three key findings in our county to your attention: • 531,000 older adults are ages 60+. • 90,628 older adults are eligible for both Medicare and Medi-Cal. • 30 percent of adults ages 65+ don't have enough income to meet their basic needs. Please remember, if you or someone you know is in need of services, please don't hesitate to contact my office at (951) 955-1050 or email district5@rivco.org. | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | JANUARY 2025 | 5 Joey Gaynor: Seen in Comedy's Dirtiest Dozen with Bill Hicks, Chris Rock and Tim Allen e Five Heartbeats, All I Want For Christmas with Leslie Nielson, the documentary I am Sam Kinison and the most popular episode of Unsolved Mysteries 'e Ghosts of the Comedy Store'.
