in-home supportive services

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a program that provides personal care and domestic assistance to eligible individuals who are elderly, disabled, or blind, enabling them to remain safely in their homes. Services include help with daily tasks such as bathing, grooming, meal preparation, housekeeping, and mobility. Certified providers or family members often deliver these services, which are funded by government programs to support independence and improve quality of life. IHSS is tailored to each person's needs, promoting dignity and community integration while reducing reliance on institutional care.
