The
San Francisco Adult Day Services Network was initiated in 1983 for
the purpose of raising funds to open adult day health centers throughout
the city's various neighborhoods. The core group of community leaders
was successful in raising $3 million and in opening five centers
to augment the work of two existing programs. The Network was the
first county-wide alliance of adult day services in the country.
It is now a membership organization that includes 13 agencies providing
neighborhood-based health and social services at and serving more
than 2,000 participants each year. Originally a project of The United
Way, the Network became a freestanding nonprofit in 1994. Its mission
is to help build capacity, increase access, and maintain the highest
quality of care.
