Daly City Peninsula Partnership Collaborative - Friendly Visiting and Meals Express program

The Daly City Peninsula Partnership Collaborative’s Friendly Visiting and Meals   Express program provides services to alleviate the isolation felt by older adults and persons with disabilities, while maximizing their ability to age in place. Over the past 5 years, the Healthy Aging Response Team (HART) program has identified these types of services to be among the highest needs in the Daly City community.

It is anticipated  that 10% to 25% of the service requests from isolated, home-bound seniors may be more appropriately filled by a home-visiting Care Coordinator. This Coordinator will visit seniors (50 years and older) and disabled clients who have unique and difficult  situations that cannot be addressed by information referral or phone call assistance and coordinate appropriate support through a collaborative network of service providers, hospitals, and faith-based organizations.

The agreement specifies that the Meals Express Driver will deliver at least 100 meals to each disabled or isolated senior per quarter in FY 2015-16, and Meals Express Driver will deliver thirty (30) bags of assorted fresh fruits, vegetables, and Second Harvest Food Bank (SHFB) Brown Bag groceries  to eligible seniors each quarter in FY 2016-17.
