Senior Options, Advocacy and Referrals (SOAR)

This is a program for care management that helps frail and disabled adults who are ages 60 years and older. It will help you if you are at risk of being placed in a care facility and not able to be in a program for other like services.

How does the program work?

The care managers work with the client to find and coordinate services in the home. The staff members develop a care plan with the client and any significant others to help the client remain safe and as independent as possible. One main goal for us is to keep you in your home and not have to be placed in a hospital or long-term, out-of-home placement.

There is also a way to pay for the service within the program to get help with homemaker, respite, escort, and money management services. For those people whose monthly income and resources make them ineligible for In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) and unable to afford private-pay home care assistance may be able to pay for services

Who We Serve

We serve people who are "at risk" for needing placement outside their home. Many of the SOAR clients have difficulties taking care of several of their needs.

To Qualify

  • Age 60 or older.
  • May or may not be Medi-Cal eligible.
  • At risk of placement.
  • Eligibility to other case management programs must be explored before screening for SOAR.

Other Programs: Our Call Center (Phone: 800-339-4661) will help find other care management programs if you are not able to be in the SOAR program. Referrals can be made for you to other private care management services.

What is the cost of services?

If you can afford to pay, you will be asked to help pay the cost of the care management and purchased services; however, you will not be turned away solely from inability or unwillingness to pay.

Referrals

Please note that the SOAR program has a waitlist, and it can take several months for a referral to be assigned to a care manager.
