Our Responsibility 

Each senior citizen at any of the Santa Cruz Council of Aging Centers is treated as an individual with the respect and dignity they deserve.

The Santa Cruz County borders with Mexico in south-central Arizona and has a history dating back to different cultures. It is the smallest county in Arizona, with a population of 46,768; about 83% of residents are Hispanic or Latino.
