In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a California program that assists elderly, disabled, or blind individuals who need help with daily activities, allowing them to live independently at home. The program provides personal care services like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and housekeeping. Eligible recipients can hire caregivers, including friends or family members, to provide these services. The goal of IHSS is to enhance quality of life while reducing the need for institutional care, ultimately promoting autonomy and dignity for individuals who require assistance.
