Year: 2023

The San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services-Public Guardian (DAAS-PG) Age Wise program introduced the Telehealth Home-Based Behavioral Health Care for Older Adults to close the digital divide by enabling mental health clinicians to conduct outreach and provide ongoing services to older adults isolated by living in rural areas, especially those who isolated during the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and other limitations. This program provides equipment and connectivity for qualified older adults to support establishing and continuing behavioral health case management services.
