Institute on Aging San Francisco

Institute on Aging in San Francisco provides in-home care, care coordination, and support services for older adults and adults with disabilities seeking to age in place with dignity and independence. The organization operates as a non-profit focused on comprehensive, personalized care rather than corporate profit.

The community offers a range of services including personalized in-home care, care coordination, dementia and memory care support, caregiver coaching and education, and On Lok PACE, an all-inclusive medical and social support program. Specialized dementia-trained caregivers provide support for individuals and families navigating Alzheimer's and other cognitive conditions, with a focus on safety, consistency, and quality of life.

Institute on Aging operates multiple programs designed to address isolation and promote connection, including daily cognitive, physical, and social activities for people living with dementia. The organization also runs California's longest-operating toll-free warmline offering confidential support and crisis intervention in eight languages, and maintains an Enrichment Center located in the Presidio near the Golden Gate Bridge that provides daily programming and engagement for individuals with cognitive disorders.

The organization coordinates over twenty programs and services providing practical help, wellness activities, social connection, and aging-in-place resources for older adults and caregivers. A holistic approach combines healthcare, in-home support, social engagement, and technology to help older adults maintain independence and thrive in their own homes.
