45 - CDA MEDI-CAL PROGRAMS

This program includes the Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) and Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) Program. The MSSP provides health/social case management to prevent premature and unnecessary long-term care institutionalization of frail elderly persons. The Department provides program oversight of the MSSP via an interagency agreement with the Department of Health Care Services. The ADHC Program is a community-based day program that provides a variety of health, therapeutic and social services to restore or maintain optimal capacity for self-care of frail older persons and adults with functional impairments. The Department certifies ADHC centers for participation in the Medi-Cal Program.
