Support Services for Elders provides care coordination, household management, personal support, bookkeeping, and other assistance to help protect your financial affairs. Since 1989, Support Services for Elders has provided the highest quality of assistance, establishing a strong reputation with clients, attorneys, financial planners, and other professionals in Marin, San Francisco and the South Bay.

Our Service

All services begin with a needs assessment and an individualized plan of care. Regular updates are provided to family members and other caregivers. We work closely with clients’ existing professional support teams, such as attorneys, financial advisors, banks, health care providers, and other professionals. All services are bonded and insured.

Support Services for Elders stepped right in and helped organize a very confusing financial situation with my parents. They have been professional, kept all dealings confidential, provided expertise and counsel as appropriate, communicate appropriately via emails and in general have been a great aid in these difficult circumstances.
— John & Kathy, SSE Clients
