All About In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a California program that helps low-income individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled stay safely in their own homes instead of moving to a care facility. IHSS provides support like help with bathing, cooking, cleaning, and more. This presentation provides an overview of the following: 

• Who qualifies for IHSS and how to apply;
• The types of services IHSS provides, including domestic services, related services, personal care, protective supervision for those who need 24/7 monitoring, and paramedical services; and
• How to appeal if your application is denied or your hours are reduced.
