This program launched in 2014 as the Community Care Setting Pilot, then transitioned into CalAIM San Mateo in 2022. MediCal delivery changed to an Enhanced Care Management model with community supports in order to prioritize whole person care and promote healthy living.
When Michele reached her breaking point as a caregiver for her husband with dementia, one phone call changed everything. Through IOA’s Caregiver Coaching program, she found guidance, support, and a renewed sense of hope.

A simple conversation can change a life. Loneliness and social isolation can take a serious toll on seniors` mental and physical health—but a caring voice on the other end of the line can make all the difference. That’s why IOA’s Friendship Line exists: a 24/7 warmline offering emotional support and connection for older adults who just need someone to talk to.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹. Research shows that regular conversations through programs like the Friendship Line:
✔️ Help reduce feelings of loneliness
✔️ Lower depression and anxiety
✔️ Improve overall well-being
We’ve explored these benefits in depth in our latest white paper—detailing how meaningful connections are essential for senior mental health. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.
