The In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program helps pay for services so that individuals can remain safely in their own homes, in contrast to care facilities.

To be eligible, you must be over 65 years of age, disabled, or blind. Disabled children are also potentially eligible for IHSS. IHSS is considered an alternative to out-of-home care, such as nursing homes or board and care facilities.

The In-Home Supportive Services program (IHSS) allows limited-income elderly, blind, or disabled people to hire someone to help them with housework, meal preparation, and personal care. With this help, the IHSS recipient may remain safely in their home and will not need to move into a care facility or an institution. The IHSS program is funded by federal, state, and county resources. The IHSS recipient chooses their care provider, supervises the provider's work, defines how tasks will be completed, and can fire the provider if necessary.

• household tasks such as laundry, shopping, meal preparation, and light housecleaning
• transportation
• protective supervision

• feeding, cleaning up after, or exercising a pet
• moving/lifting heavy furniture, box…
