- The population of people 60 years and older in this decade will increase 34% and in the
next decade 11%, while the total county population is expected to remain stable.
- In the county there are four social daycare programs, two in North County (in South San
Francisco and Pacifica), and two in South County (in Menlo Park and San Carlos). Several
of these have waiting lists. Mid-county needs service because it is served only
peripherally by the existing programs.
- All the programs need a strong multi-cultural, multilingual component to serve the
Hispanic and Filipino population in North County, the large Asian population in Central
County and large Hispanic and Black populations in South County.
