In-Home Supportive Services, also known as IHSS, can help pay for services if you’re a low-income elderly, blind or disabled individual, including children, so that you can remain safely in your own home.

In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a federal, state, and locally funded program designed to provide assistance to eligible aged, blind, and disabled individuals who, without this care, would be unable to remain safely in their own homes, and would be at risk of being placed in a care facility.

The In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program provides in-home assistance to eligible aged, blind, and disabled individuals as an alternative to out-of-home care and enables recipients to remain safely in their own homes.

It is intended to help individuals understand their rights and responsibilities in the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. For additional resources, go to IHSS Recipient/Consumer Resources.
