What is an InfoVan?

An InfoVan is essentially a traveling Information and Assistance center.  It is designed to provide seniors and adults with disabilities with information on services that will allow them to live independently.  There are 36 InfoVans operating in 41 counties throughout California.

What is the InfoVan’s purpose?

The purpose of the InfoVan is to provide information about services and programs to seniors, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers at locations throughout the community and in languages that are appropriate.  The InfoVans carry an array of useful information and educational tools.
 
InfoVans were made possible through the Community Outreach for Independent Living (COIL), a project funded by a Long-Term Care Innovation Grant, administered by the California Department of Aging. The purpose of COIL was to help California’s diverse aging population and those with disabilities to live independently as long as possible.

Who operates the InfoVan?

InfoVans are being operated throughout many communities by the local Area Agency on Aging.
