MSSP provides social and health care management for older adults who are eligible for placement in a nursing facility but want to remain in the community. The goal is to arrange and monitor the use of community services, and to prevent or delay premature institutional placement for their clients. The cost of these services must be lower than the cost of a nursing facility.

The services that may be coordinated by MSSP include:

  • Care management
  • Adult day care
  • Minor home repair/maintenance
  • Supplemental in-home chore, personal care, and protective supervision services
  • Respite services
  • Transportation services
  • Counseling and therapeutic services
  • Meal services
  • Communication services
