The
In-Home Supportive Services
(IHSS) Program helps pay for
services provided to eligible
persons who are 65 years of
age or over, or legally blind,
or disabled adults and children,
so they can remain safely in
their own homes.
IHSS
is considered an alternative
to out-of-home care such
as nursing homes or board
and care facilities. |
