In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a program offered by the Department of Social Services in Visalia, CA, that provides in-home assistance to eligible aged, blind, and disabled individuals, allowing them to remain safely in their own homes instead of seeking out-of-home care.
The program works by conducting a thorough assessment of the individual's needs and eligibility, after which the county authorizes the types and number of services required. Recipients can then hire their own individual provider or choose to receive services from contracted IHSS providers or county homemakers. IHSS payments are made by the state, and needs assessments are regularly conducted to ensure that recipients' needs are being met. To apply for IHSS, individuals must complete an application and submit it to their county IHSS Office.
