Home Safe is a program intended to support the safety and housing stability of individuals within Adult Protective Services (APS), which supports victims of abuse and/or neglect who are either adults age 60+ or adults ages 18-59 who are living with disabilities.
Home Safe provides intensive case management and other supportive services to individuals experiencing or at imminent risk of homelessness due to elder or dependent adult abuse, neglect, self-neglect or financial exploitation.
We are partnering with Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) across the Bay Area to find appropriate placements for vulnerable individuals needing RCFE levels of support.
By contracting with Institute on Aging, you may have access to a larger pool of client referrals, consistent reimbursement for services, and increased community exposure. We can also guide you through the process of connecting with additional support from state-funded insurance and waiver programs.
Please contact: Lynda Connelly, lconnelly@ioaging.org, 650-255-7899
This program serving the community is funded by the City of San Franciscoโs Department of Disability and Aging Services.
A simple conversation can change a life. Loneliness and social isolation can take a serious toll on seniors` mental and physical healthโbut a caring voice on the other end of the line can make all the difference. Thatโs why IOAโs Friendship Line exists: a 24/7 warmline offering emotional support and connection for older adults who just need someone to talk to.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น. Research shows that regular conversations through programs like the Friendship Line:
โ๏ธ Help reduce feelings of loneliness
โ๏ธ Lower depression and anxiety
โ๏ธ Improve overall well-being
Weโve explored these benefits in depth in our latest white paperโdetailing how meaningful connections are essential for senior mental health. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.
