Multi-Purpose Senior Services Program (MSSP)
The Multi-Purpose Senior Services Program is a leading provider of case management services. Our goal is to help frail seniors remain at home by arranging for needed services.
As we age, it can become more challenging to manage at home. Health conditions and other factors can make routine tasks like cooking, laundry, going to the doctor, and paying bills seem overwhelming.
The Multi-Purpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) is designed to enable seniors to remain safe and independent in their own homes.
What to Expect
- A home visit by a social worker and a public health nurse.
- A care plan developed with the senior, his/her physician, family, and other caregivers to address the senior's total needs (physical, emotional, social, and environmental).
- Referral to and purchase of services that enable the senior to remain safe and independent at home.
Paid for by Medi-Cal - MSSP services for seniors enrolled in the program are covered by Medi-Cal
