Support for Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities
Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS) is a daytime health program for older adults and adults with disabilities. CBAS helps you keep your independence and live on your own terms. You can go to a CBAS Center at no-cost to prevent going to the hospital in the future or being put into a nursing home.
At a CBAS Center, you can get help with:
- Self-care skills
- Health and wellness check-ups
- Talking with your Primary Care Provider* (PCP)
- Tracking your medicine
- Getting healthy foods
- Checking your mental health
- Social and physical activities like group walks
- Testing for COVID-19
*Your Primary Care Provider (PCP) is your doctor, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner in charge of your health care.
You can go to a CBAS Center if you are 18 years or older and tend to:
- Be in poor health.
- Have many emergency room visits or hospital stays.
- Need support for daily activities.
- Have no family/caregiver or are often alone.
- Get confused or don’t know where you are.
- Wander or get lost.
Talk to your PCP to get started with CBAS. Your PCP can refer you to the CBAS Center of your choice and in your language. Find a CBAS Center by calling SFHP Customer Service 1(415) 547-7800, TTY 1(888) 883-7347.
