MULTIPURPOSE SENIOR SERVICES PROGRAM (MSSP)
Santa Cruz and Monterey MSSP
Helping older adults maintain their independence at home.
The Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) provides both social and health care management services to assist individuals remain in their own homes and communities. Each year our MSSP team serves over 420 community members so that they may live healthy, active lives.
