The Justice in Aging resources on the Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) and Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS) provide a clear and informative overview of how these vital Medi-Cal benefits help older adults and people with disabilities remain safely living in their homes and communities. They highlight MSSP and CBAS as key components of California’s Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) system, offering coordinated health, therapeutic, and social services that help prevent or delay unnecessary institutionalization.

We are grateful to Justice in Aging for producing these resources and helping to elevate awareness of CBAS. Their work plays an important role in ensuring policymakers, stakeholders, and communities better understand the value of adult day services and the critical role they play in supporting independence, dignity, and quality of life.
