Activity 3

Community care programs - see description on schedule ocommunity care programs - include linkages, a care management program,providing assessment and coordination of services for disabled adults age 18 or older who live in san francisco and need assistance with some tasks of daily living. Short-term help might include installing grab bars, shopping assistance, or intervening in an emergency situation. Funded in part by the san francisco department of aging and adult services, linkages seeks to provide access to needed services to enable a person to continue living independently.through the linkages program, a social worker visits a client at home and works with the client to determine what services might be helpful. With this information, a care plan is developed and appropriate services are arranged. The social worker continues to stay in close touch, working with the client to adjust the care plan as necessary.linkages can arrange a wide array of services, including:-transportation-home safety modifications-medical care-housekeeping-legal assistance-senior companion-home-delivered meals-money management-day activity programs-counseling-government benefitslinkages is available to all disabled san francisco residents, 18 and older, with care management needs, in addition to difficulty with one activity of daily living (adl) or two instrumental activities of daily living (iadl). There is no income requirement for receiving this service. The average case load for the linkages program in 2012-13 was 150 clients; the number of unduplicated clients was 210.community care programs also include the community living fund (clf), a program that assists with the transition of individuals with limited incomes who have spent years living in hospitals or care facilities and who wish to return to living in the community. Clf also provides services to individuals living in the community who are at imminent risk of institutionalization. Although patients may wish to live independently, and have the right to make that choice, the transition from institutionalized care to independent living can be very difficult. Patients face ordinary life tasks such as meal preparation, bill paying and organizing medical care for the first time in many years. To make this transition safe and possible, clf provides services from trained professional nurses and social workers. Social workers and nurses provide service coordination and, when necessary, purchase items and/or services needed by an individual to enable independent living.
