The Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) provides both social and health care management services to assist individuals remain in their own homes and communities.
While most of the program participants also receive In-Home Supportive Services, MSSP provides on-going care coordination, links participants 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 total annual combined cost of care management and other services must be lower than the cost of receiving care in a skilled nursing facility.
A team of health and social service professionals provides each MSSP participant with a complete health and psychosocial assessment to determine needed services.
The team then works with the MSSP participant, their physician, family, and others to develop an individualized care plan. Services include:
- Care management
- Adult day care
- Minor home repair/maintenance
- Supplemental in-home chore, personal care, and protective supervision services
- Respite services
- Transportation services
- Counseling and therapeutic services
- Meal services
- Communication services
