Older adults in Mission Hills often live near hospitals and medical facilities, but that doesn’t guarantee enough In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) hours. Perhaps your doctor writes only that you have “mild mobility issues,” without mentioning frequent knee pain or difficulty bending to pick up household items. When these details go undocumented, the county may assume a short caretaker visit is sufficient. By clearly explaining each area where you struggle—like bathing, vacuuming, or meal prep—you can present a stronger case for the hours you truly need.
Think about your daily routine: Does your back seize up while cooking? Are you afraid of slipping in the shower unless someone is there to assist? These specifics matter. Vague descriptions rarely move the county to grant more coverage. Instead, be direct about how each chore taxes your energy or causes pain. That thoroughness often convinces IHSS evaluators that a few basic hours won’t cut it in Mission Hills, where everyday tasks can pile up if left unattended.
This is where the All Seniors Foundation comes in. We help Mission Hills seniors uncover each overlooked detail—like dizziness when walking short distances or the inability to carry groceries. By gathering every challenge into a comprehensive form, we show officials your real circumstances rather than letting them rely on a bare-bones doctor’s note.
Without precise documentation, you might end up pushing your body too far or postponing chores indefinitely. Extra IHSS hours can bring routine help with cooking, cleaning, or even a watchful eye if you’re unsteady on your feet.
…and let us show county officials exactly why you need the coverage to stay safe and independent in Mission Hills.
