In Home Supportive Services - (IHSS) SLO

Description:

The In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program helps pay for services provided to aged, blind, or disabled individuals who are limited in their ability to care for themselves and cannot live at home safely without in-home care. IHSS is considered an alternative to out-of-home care, such as nursing homes or board and care facilities.

Some services that can be authorized through IHSS include: housecleaning, meal preparation, laundry, grocery shopping, personal care services (such as bowel and bladder care, bathing, grooming and paramedical services), accompaniment to medical appointments, and protective supervision for the mentally impaired.

If you receive SSI or Medi-Cal you may be eligible for IHSS if you need services to remain safely in your home. Other aged, blind or disabled persons who meet the SSS resource limits, but have income above the SSI Limit may still be eligible for IHSS. If this is the case you may have a share of cost (SOC). For more information on share-of cost contact your local IHSS office.
