Northern California Resources
Introduction
This document contains a listing of Northern California Resources gathered by Lisa Kjer, LCSW at the HDSA Northern
California Chapter and HDSA Center of Excellence at UC Davis Medical Center. The resources listed are for patients,
families and the HD community to assist in finding the community support needed to cope with Huntington’s Disease.
Majority of the resources in this document are not affiliated or funded by UC Davis Medical Center or HDSA Northern
California, therefore many of the resources are not specific to HD, yet may be useful to HD patients, families and
community members. It is our hope that these resources may assist you in some way.
Feedback
Any corrections, questions or concerns can be directed to Lisa Kjer, LCSW, 916-734-6277 or e-mail at lkjer@hdsa.org. If
you have a resource(s) that have been helpful to you or someone you know in the HD community, please e-mail the
information to lkjer@hdsa.org and we can include the information for other families to utilize.

with house chores and personal care. Assisted living facilities may offer rooms or apartment-style accommodations and,
often, social activities. Meals are provided. Staff is also available to assist with different care needs, such as bathing,
grooming, eating or using the toilet, and care is arranged as needed by the individual. The monthly charge for assisted

services to prevent or delay premature institutional
placement of these frail clients. The services must be
provided at a cost lower than that for nursing facility care.
Clients eligible for the program must be 65 years of age or
older, live within a site's service area, currently eligible for
Medi-Cal. For the site serving your area please visit the
