MSSP: Multipurpose Senior Service Program
Care Management: helping older adults live independently at home.
Program Overview
Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) is a care management program, providing assessment and coordination of services for older adults who live in San Francisco, are 65 years or older, and have Medi-Cal coverage. 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.
