Diablo Valley Foundation For The Aging

Founded by a group of Community leaders including Dean S. Lesher, former publisher of the Contra Costa Times, and Katherine M. Grant, a social worker, the Foundation is committed to providing vital services to aging persons who are at risk because they are alone, isolated, pressed by financial problems, or are confused. The focus of DVFA is to prevent inappropriate institutionalization of elders by providing them the necessary support to maintain them in community.
