Community Partners

Alzheimer’s San Diego: Working together to provide a continuum of care, we partner with Alzheimer’s San Diego to offer educational webinars, volunteer/staff training, home safety modifications, and resources to older adults and families impacted by dementia and other forms of cognitive decline.

San Diego Senior Alliance is a consortium of more than 20 nonprofits, local healthcare firms and legislative aides focused solely on issues and services around aging and health – is to aim for a healthcare system that is well-coordinated, continuous and covers the spectrum of care from preventive and livable communities to post-hospitalization.

San Diego Food Bank: In both central San Diego and North County, ElderHelp facilitates nutritious food delivery from the San Diego Food Bank to seniors with limited transportation and mobility. Our certified food bank shoppers procure over 1500 pounds of food weekly which is then processed and distributed through our pantry and delivered to seniors in residential communities as well as individual senior homes.

Project CARE is a County of San Diego initiative that provides a range of direct services to identify and support older adults who are at risk for social isolation, neglect, and abuse.

Community Housing Works collaborates with ElderHelp to forge stronger futures through financial wellbeing, health & nutrition, next generation success, and stable housing. With a focus on North County seniors, ElderHelp provides residential services support at Mission Cove in Oceanside, connecting seniors to valuable resources and planning engaging, meaningful activities that align with CHW’s goals.

SD Housing Commission: Since 1997, ElderHelp has worked hand-in-hand with the San Diego Housing Commission, providing services that help seniors access and maintain stable, affordable housing. Services include HomeSHare, residential support services, consultations/resources for seniors at risk of homelessness, and housing navigation to connect older adults with SDHC benefits and initiatives.

Community Information Exchange (CIESD) is a technology that helps the underserved get the help they need, when they need it, by facilitating seamless care coordination that improves client health and social outcomes. Through sophisticated technology that manages data sharing portals, CIESD allows for the exchange of individual client information across organizations, in real-time, and provides a more comprehensive view of the needs and services of individuals under their care. ElderHelp is one of four local senior care agencies to participate in the CIESD Cohort Phase Two pilot program.

Grossmont Healthcare District (GHD) was formed in 1952 to maintain and improve the physical and behavioral health of its East County constituents. Its goal is to anticipate and recognize the unmet health care needs of the communities we serve and support suitable services to the greatest extent possible consistent with available resources. ElderHelp has been a longtime beneficiary and partner with GHD, meeting social and healthcare needs of its constituents since 1998.

San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce is the hub for connections and collaborations for the business community and is an advocate for its members and all the region’s businesses by supporting pro-business policies and candidates.

Service Enterprise certification was awarded ElderHelp in January 2015.
