CalAIM Santa Clara offers enhanced care management. Individuals will be assigned a lead Care Manager who will help coordinate transition out of a skilled nursing facility into a home-like environment. The Care Manager will assist with finding and applying for housing, finding doctors and scheduling appointments, understanding prescription drug medications, getting follow-up services after hospital discharge, setting up transportation, finding and applying for food, and connecting the individual to other community programs and services.
This program began as a pilot through Whole Person Care and then transitioned into CalAIM Santa Clara in 2022. Medi-Cal delivery changed to an Enhanced Care Management model with offerings for community supports in order to prioritize whole person care and healthy living.
💚 May is Mental Health Awareness Month—and a powerful reminder that no one should face emotional challenges alone.
At IOA, we recognize the toll loneliness and isolation can take on older adults. That’s why our Friendship Line offers 24/7 support, connection, and care to those who need it most.

Coming together makes us stronger. 💙
This past weekend, the IOA team gathered for our annual company picnic—a chance to connect, relax, and celebrate the incredible people behind our mission.
Building community within our team helps us better serve the older adults and families who count on us every day.

May is Older Americans Month!
This year’s theme is 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯—a reminder that strong communities start with inclusion, dignity, and respect for our aging population.
At IOA, we believe aging should be supported, celebrated, and never done alone.

Multi-step tasks—like setting the table or making coffee—can be frustrating for someone living with dementia. But breaking them down into smaller, simpler steps can make all the difference.
Try assigning a single, manageable part of the task—like folding napkins or pressing the coffee maker button.
Supporting independence doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
