Background
Under a federal Medicaid Home and Community-Based, Long-Term Care Services Waiver, the Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) provides social and health care management to allow frail elderly clients to remain at home. Clients eligible for the program must be 65 years of age or older, live within El Dorado County, be appropriate for care management services, be currently eligible for Medi-Cal, and certified or certifiable for placement in a nursing facility. On-going and frequent contact between MSSP staff and program participants ensures required care is received for the client to remain safely in their own home. The County of El Dorado, through its Department of Community Services (now part of the Health and Human Services Agency) has administered the program locally since funding was first awarded in 1999.
Reason for Recommendation
Agreement MS-1415-35 provides $257,100 in federal and state funding for continued provision of MSSP services in the El Dorado County during FY 2014-15.
