About CalAIM & How It Enhances Professional Care at Home for Families in Stockton, San Rafael, and San Ramon, CA

CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal) is a multi-year initiative led by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to transform and improve the Medi-Cal program—California’s version of Medicaid.

Launched in January 2022, CalAIM aims to make Medi-Cal more person-centered, equitable, and focused on whole-person care, especially for individuals with complex health and social needs.

CalAIM:

• Expands services beyond traditional healthcare (e.g., housing supports, meal delivery, home modifications)
• Integrates physical health, behavioral health, and social services

As part of this innovative program, we offer coordinated, person-centered services designed to support Medi-Cal members with complex health and social needs. J&M Homecare specializes in helping individuals age in place by providing coordinated care to improve health outcomes and reduce avoidable hospitalizations

J&M Homecare services vulnerable populations, including:

• Seniors and people with disabilities
• High utilizers of the healthcare system
• Individuals at risk of institutionalization or Long-Term Care
• Caregivers in need of Respite
• Individuals in need of home care services

Community Supports Services

Community Supports are cost-effective, medically appropriate services that address social determinants of health. One of the key Community Supports is Home Care Services, designed to help people remain safely in their private homes or communities, wherever they call home.

Helping individuals who have difficulty managing Activities of Daily Living tasks at home, with the ultimate goal of assisting them so that they can live safely and independently at home.

At J&M Homecare, individuals are assigned a single Care Services Manager who will work with the member and their chosen support system to coordinate care services.

Examples of Home Care Services:

• Personal care and hygiene assistance
• Toileting assistance and incontinence care
• Meal preparation, cooking, and assistance with feeding
• Mobility assistance (e.g., getting in/out of bed).
• Laundry
• Light housekeeping
• Medication reminders
• Scheduling appointments
• Ensuring safety in the home
• Providing cues or prompts for people with memory loss or behavioral conditions.
• Supportive interaction with individuals with cognitive impairment or behavioral health issues.
• Companionship and moral support
