Expanded In-home Services for the Elderly Program
Expanded
In-home Services for the Elderly Program (EISEP) assists older adults who
need minimal assistance with housekeeping and/or personal care and non-institutional
respite services through various social adult day programs. EISEP services
are intended for long term, non-medical situations. EISEP also matches each
client with a case manager who helps determine what help is needed and provides
on-going guidance to the client and family. Housekeeping services may include
light housekeeping, laundry and/or meal preparation.
Personal care may include bathing, dressing, grooming and/or ambulating. Non-institutional
respite care is offered through subcontracts with five social adult day programs
throughout the County. Case management includes an in-home assessment, links
to appropriate services and monitoring of services. Jewish Family Service
of Rochester, Inc. provides case management services directly and also collaborates
with the following agencies for case management services:
• Urban League of Rochester
• Catholic Family Center
• Lifespan
