Elder Care at Home Self-Help for the Elderly's Elder Care at Home program is designed to provide short-term, non-medical services to meet the sudden needs of seniors and disabled adults. Services are available to those who have recently been discharged from the hospital and require immediate assistance, need temporary care while waiting for authorization from the Department of Human Services for In-Home Supportive Services or need one-time house cleaning. Elder Care workers provide services on an emergency and temporary basis until more permanent services can be arranged. Referrals to health and social services agencies are made as appropriate.
Funded by the San Francisco Office on Aging, Department of Aging and Adult Services.
