The Multi-Purpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) offers long-term care management for those age 65 and older in order to help them remain living in the place they call home.
A team of health and social service professionals conduct an initial house call to provide each MSSP participant with a complete assessment of health, psychosocial, environmental, and rehabilitation needs. The team then works with the MSSP participant, their physician and their circle of care to develop an individualized care plan. Once the plan of support is established, the care manager helps link the individual to other needed community services and resources, coordinates with health care providers, and purchases some needed services that are not otherwise available to prevent or delay institutionalization. The care manager also providing continuity of care and support structures, continuing to call the individual monthly and making quarterly home visits.
MSSP is one of IOA’s original programs, which IOA started more than 40 years ago as only the 6th MSSP site across California. Today, nearly all California counties have an MSSP site. This program is administered by the California Department of Aging (CDA).

Sophia became a part of the Community Living Fund team in December 2022, joining at a critical time when additional coverage was required for certain cases. Additionally, CLF was in the process of introducing a new assessment and implementing CalAim services for San Francisco members.
Sophia has been an essential contributor to these ongoing initiatives while effectively managing a caseload of Intensive Case Management (ICM) clients. We were thrilled to receive positive feedback about her support for the TRCS program, which demonstrates her dedication to the agency`s mission. CLF is grateful to have a Case Manager like Sophia, who is passionate about serving San Francisco`s vulnerable population.
