MSSP
(Multipurpose Senior Services Program)

The primary objective of MSSP is to avoid or delay the inappropriate placement of persons in nursing facilities, while fostering independent living in the community. 

MSSP provides services to eligible clients and their families to enable clients to remain in their homes. MSSP case management provides for client assessment, care planning, service arrangement and client monitoring. A team of health and social service professionals provides each client with a complete health and psychosocial assessment to determine the services needed. These services are routinely provided by Vendors. 

Vendors complete tasks such as basic housekeeping chores, personal hygiene, personal health care chores, grocery shopping, and transportation to non-emergency medical appointments.

Certain eligibility criteria must be met in order to receive services. Eligibility for the program is addressed first at screening, and confirmed throughout participation in the program. 

The eligibility criteria are:

• Certifiable for placement in an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) or a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF);
• Age 65 or older;
• Reside within the Valley area of the County of San Bernardino
• Receive Medi-cal under an appropriate aid code
• Appropriate for case management services.
