Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP)
The Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) offers community-based services to help seniors remain safely in their homes and communities rather than entering a nursing facility. MSSP provides a range of support, including care coordination, health education, and access to essential services like transportation, meal delivery, and personal care assistance. By participating in the MSSP, healthcare providers can work collaboratively with community resources to develop comprehensive care plans that address the medical, social, and emotional needs of seniors, promoting independence and enhancing their quality of life.
