General Information about In Home Support Services (IHSS)

The IHSS program provides services to eligible people over the age of 65, the blind, and for disabled.
The goal of the IHSS program is to allow you to live safely in your own home and avoid the need for out of home care. Services almost always need to be provided in your own home. This could be a house, apartment, hotel, or the home of a relative. If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or meet all MediCal income eligibility requirements, you may be able to receive IHSS services. IHSS is a Medi-Cal program and is funded by federal, state, and county dollars.

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.
