San Bernardino County’s Department of Aging and Adult Services-Public Guardian (DAAS-PG) developed the Nursing Model to Enhance Service Delivery Systems program to provide an intradisciplinary team approach in providing personal in-home care to its recipients that enhances their ability to remain in their homes safely and for as long as possible. DAAS-PG assists vulnerable individuals who are aged and/or disabled remain in their homes by providing services aimed at promoting health and safety. The DAAS-PG Nursing Model provides in-home nursing services to eligible high-risk and underserved seniors who reside in urban and rural communities within San Bernardino County that require assistance monitoring their health due to their impeding social, economic, emotional and/or physical limitations. Implementation of the DAAS-PG Nursing Model to Enhance Service Delivery Systems fills a health education and screening gap by sending qualified nurses out to visit aged or disabled clients in their homes to instruct them on how to conduct proper self-assessments that may identify potential life-threatening health issues.
