Senior Programs
Helping seniors and persons with disabilities remain in their own homes with independence and dignity.

Homemaker Program
Homemakers perform basic housekeeping tasks for seniors and individuals with disabilities, such as: cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping and more. Professional staff also assesses an individual's overall adjustment to daily life. Fees are based on a sliding scale/donation.

Community Outreach Program
Community Outreach Program provides advocacy and support services for seniors with a bilingual/bicultural outreach manager. FSA staff links isolated seniors with available community resources and services. Services are offered at no cost.

S.A.I.L. (Services Aimed at Independent Living)
S.A.I.L. provides home maintenance and repairs services for those unable to afford these services from proprietary businesses. Skilled craftsmen install grab bars, custom-made wheelchair ramps, deadbolt locks, smoke alarms, and provide moving services, light plumbing or electrical repairs, yard maintenance and other chores related to home safety and maintenance. Fees are based on a sliding fee scale/donation.

Safe Points
Funded with a grant through the United Way Linkages Program, Safe Points is a service delivery system, bringing several agencies together under one umbrella to effectively serve senior clients rather than the client having to access multiple agencies for each service. In addition, by providing thorough assessments, counseling and comprehensive case management for each client and continued follow up, we are ensuring that each senior's needs are being met and not falling through the cracks. Collaborative partners of the Safe Points Program include FSA, Gatekeeper Program, The Parish Nursing Program and the City of Santa Barbara Housing Authority.
