Care Management Services

As we age, experience chronic illnesses, or simply face recovery from an illness or surgery, managing numerous appointments and medications can become difficult. Receiving help coordinating your care can be an enormous relief for those needing care and for family members giving care. IOA provides three care management services, each staffed by professionals specializing in gerontology, social work, and nursing. Each program offers expertise and knowledge of services that can save a family countless hours of research and calling. Additionally, it is important to note that advice through IOA is independent; we do not receive commissions for referrals.

Multipurpose Senior service program (MSSP)

When everyday tasks such as cooking dinner, getting to the doctor, or managing money become more difficult, MSSP is available at no charge to provide needed support, and enable people to continue living in their own homes. Through the care management services of MSSP, a Care Manager or Nurse visits a client at home to discuss his or her needs and the services that might be helpful. With this information, a Care Plan is developed and appropriate services are arranged. The care manager continues to stay in close touch, working together with the client to adjust the Care Plan as necessary.

Based in San Francisco, Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) is designed for adults 65 years or older living in San Francisco with Medi-Cal coverage. Funded by the State and Federal government, MSSP is administered through the California Department of Aging. Learn more

A professional and experienced presence at and following medical appointments, the care managers can serve as eyes and ears for long-distance loved ones, offering peace of mind to seniors and their families.
