Welcome to Self-Help for the Elderly!
Since 1966, Self-Help for the
Elderly has provided assistance and support to seniors in the San Francisco area. We provide trustworthy and devoted
care for seniors to promote their independence, dignity and self-worth. Our non-profit services and companionship help
guide seniors to wellness and happiness. We want to contribute to longer, healthier, more purposeful lives for
all seniors.
CHAMPSS
In partnership with The San Francisco Department of Disability and Aging (DAS), we run a program called CHAMPSS.
CHAMPSS, or Choosing Healthy Appetizing Meal Plan Solutions for Seniors, helps promote healthy, active living
among
seniors.
In April 2024, Self-Help for the Elderly is thrilled to collaborate with Santa Clara County Department of Aging
and
Adults Services – Senior Nutrition Program and The Health Trust to introduce the fourth CHAMPSS restaurant to
serve the
San Jose community in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the CHAMPSS program in California.
