Employee of the Month
Our Employee of the Month is Andria Regalado!! Andria has been a dispatcher with our Transportation Department for 2 years. She enjoys her job and always has a smile on her face!!

Membership contributions allow LCCOA to enhance programs such as our popular chair yoga, senior transportation, health and wellness classes, and educational workshops. Our mission is simple but impactful: to ensure seniors can live with dignity and enjoy quality lives.
Your membership makes a difference
