COMMUNITY LIVING FUND SAN FRANCISCO

IOA’s Community Living Fund also advocates for those at risk of institutionalization. Our staff works to ensure that individuals are connected to all available community resources, stable housing, and appropriate healthcare services to support their ability to continue living at home safely. We can even ensure that clients receive the proper medical equipment to support life at home. We help individuals who are at imminent risk for nursing home or institutional placement and who are willing and able to remain living in the community with appropriate support.

Potential clients must first undergo an eligibility screening process through the Department of Aging and Adult Services. Afterwards, our care managers will assess client’s needs, develop a service plan, and then work to maintain or return them to a safe, stable, independent way of life.
