IHSS & MSSP Programs

(In-Home Supportive Services & Multi-Purpose Senior Services Programs)

Note: These are not emergency services. Initiation of service generally takes 4-6 weeks. Service can occasionally be expedited. Inquire with your local office. An assessment is provided by a professional. Qualification and number of hours that will be subsidized by the program are determined. Caregivers may be provided by the contracted agency; however, individuals who have a friend or relative who can provide services (caregivers are paid) may receive services within a shorter time frame.

Multipurpose Senior Service Program

MSSP is a non-sectarian state-funded program, which provides an alternative to nursing home placement for very frail elders, who are on Medi-Cal. The professional staff of social workers and nurses assess the needs of elders, coordinating, managing and often purchasing a package of services to allow at-risk elderly (aged 65+) to remain in their own homes.

The service is available to seniors living in:

Beverly-Fairfax ---------------------------------------- Conejo Valley ------------------------------------------- Culver City ---------------------------------------------- Hollywood ----------------------------------------------- San Fernando Valley ---------------------------------Santa Monica ------------------------------------------- Venice ---------------------------------------------------- West Hollywood --------------------------------------- West Los Angeles
