When everyday tasks such as cooking dinner, climbing stairs, or managing your medical appointments become too difficult for you to do on your own, the Multipurpose Senior Services Program, also known as MSSP, might be able to help.

MSSP helps Medi-Cal recipients age 65 and over to continue living in their own homes by arranging for help with services such as:

  • Home-delivered meals
  • Transportation to medical appointments
  • Bathing, getting dressed, housekeeping
  • Medication reminders
  • Emergency response systems
  • Minor home safety modifications
  • Adult day care
  • Counseling
  • End-of-life planning


Sometimes, MSSP can arrange for someone to provide your care for a short time so that your caregiver can take a break or run errands.

Please give us call for more information about MSSP services and eligibility at (559) 623-0199, (559) 713-2875, or 1-800-434-0222.
