Institute on Aging is a leading advocate for older adults and those who care for them, offering a broad spectrum of services and support to help older adults maintain their independence. Services include home care and case management services, elder abuse prevention programs, a suicide prevention call line, adult day care centers, a PACE program, and referral services.
The Support at Home (SAH) program supports independent living through a home care voucher program for low and middle-income adults. The goal of the SAH is to enhance the quality of life for eligible adults by empowering them to remain in their homes and communities with access to needed care and support services. The program assists San Francisco’s older adults and adults with disabilities who are ineligible for other subsidized home care programs, such as Medi-Cal In-Home Supportive Services with no Share of Cost, due to income, resource limits, or other program requirements.
The Archstone Foundation Award for Excellence in Program Innovation is an annual award, established in 1997 through an endowment, to recognize best practice models in the field of aging and public health. By providing national recognition to these programs, Archstone Foundation hopes that it will enable these model programs to be replicated, and to continue to be evaluated in an effort to enhance innovative services for older adults throughout the U.S.
