Case/Care Management

The agency provides mental health services for older adults age 55 and older in the Long Beach and southeast Los Angeles area. Services include case/care management, mental health evaluation and psychiatric medication monitoring for older adults. Age restrictions apply and differ by program; geographic restrictions apply.

The agency participates in the Full Service Partnership (FSP) program through funding from the Department of Mental Health. FSP services are geared for older adults, age 60 and older, who suffer from a serious mental illness and are at imminent risk of homelessness. To be eligible individuals must have been homeless for six months or more, incarcerated for 30 days or more, or hospitalized for two weeks or more. A treatment team provides weekly intense services for individuals with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, bipolar and severe depression.

The Older Adult Field Capable Clinical Services (FCCS) program is geared for older adults, age 55 and older, who suffer from a mental illness and are at imminent risk for homelessness. A treatment team provides monthly services for individuals who do not meet the criteria for FSP services, or are graduating to a lower level of care.

Both programs can provide linkages with community services such as social connections, food program referrals and medical referrals.
