In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)

At Voyager Home Health Care, we know how important it is for your loved ones to remain in the place they feel most comfortable – their home. In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a state program that provides essential support for individuals who need help with daily living activities. The goal is to help people stay safe, independent, and supported without having to leave home.

Who Can Benefit From IHSS?

IHSS is designed for individuals who qualify for assistance and want to continue living in their own homes. The program supports:

• Seniors (65+): Older adults who need help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, or moving around.
• Adults with Disabilities: Individuals who require support with personal care, meal preparation, or light housekeeping.
• Blind Individuals: Those who need extra assistance with mobility, personal care, and other daily needs.

IHSS helps ensure that each of these groups receives compassionate care that promotes dignity and independence.

How the Program Works

The IHSS program is straightforward and designed to help families access the services they need quickly. Here’s how the process generally works:

• Application: Apply online or call your local IHSS Case Management office to begin.
• Assessment: A professional will meet with you to understand your care needs and determine the level of support required.
• Authorization: Based on the assessment, services are approved so that the right care plan is in place.
• Care Services Begin: Once authorized, a trained and qualified caregiver will provide services tailored to your needs.
