Grant

California’s Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) is specifically reserved for older adults age 65+ who are eligible for Medi-Cal and certified or certifiable for placement in a nursing facility. These elders are among the frailest, most chronically ill people that Partners serves. Our highly trained staff provides excellent, culturally competent services in very diverse communities that many of our staff members also call home. Partners’ MSSP Care Coordinators engender trusting relationships with community leaders and the individuals and their families who receive services. We visit each participant in their home, conduct a health and psychosocial assessment, develop comprehensive care plans, obtain critical resources and services, and ensure participation in essential programs to foster self-sufficiency and assist with daily living. This process ensures individualized, whole-person, person-centered care for each program participant. This greatly appreciated grant will enable us to expand services to include additional residents of South Los Angeles where the need remains large.
