Intensive Senior Support (ISS) is a program for older adults (60 years and over) who live in Morris County. ISS provides a comprehensive support system for vulnerable older adults that are at high risk of losing their independent living status due to mental illness, substance abuse, dementia, homelessness, domestic violence and extreme resistance to services.
ISS provides those in need of in-home services with linkage to supportive programs and access to comprehensive primary medical, dental and behavioral health care to address chronic and acute medical issues.
Program participants will experience a continuity of care that facilitates stabilization of their medical and behavioral health conditions. Those who do not have a regular medical provider will be linked to Zufall Health for their primary care needs. Additionally, participants receive case management intervention services and appropriate referrals, including transportation to appointments to ensure continuation of care.
For more information and referrals to the program, contact Priscilla La Paz at 973-328-9100 ext. 1541 or plapaz@zufallhealth.org.
Financial support for Intensive Senior Support Services is provided, in part, by the Morris County Board of Commissioners.
