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. Learn more.
