Multipurpose Senior
Services Program

The Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) fosters and maintains the independence and dignity of seniors in home and community settings.

MSSP began in 1977 with five sites in the State of California. Today, there are 38 sites statewide that continue the mission with Independence at Home administering the largest program in California.

One call puts you in contact with a highly trained, experienced social worker who will listen and answer your questions. Whether you need assistance or you’re a caregiver for someone who needs assistance, we are committed to helping you find a solution.
