With its picturesque horse trails and rolling hills, Shadow Hills offers a unique rural feel in Los Angeles. But if you’re a senior with too few In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) hours, that peaceful setting can feel isolating when everyday chores become too taxing. Perhaps your doctor only stated “some mobility limits,” without explaining how transferring laundry upstairs strains your back or how unpredictable terrain makes short walks risky. If the county doesn’t see these specifics, they may not grant the hours you genuinely require.
Don’t let brief medical notes undersell your needs. Be explicit about why standard tasks—like raking leaves on a sloped yard or prepping multiple meals—can exceed your comfort zone. When you spell out how each chore impacts your energy, balance, or pain level, you help officials realize a minimal care schedule doesn’t cut it in Shadow Hills’ unique environment.
The All Seniors Foundation delves into every aspect of your routine. We ask detailed questions: do you need support bathing safely after a long walk around your property? Does vacuuming aggravate arthritis in your hands? These facts often get lost in quick medical forms, so we compile them into a more persuasive argument for more IHSS hours.
Living in a tranquil area shouldn’t mean you’re stuck battling chores alone. Additional IHSS hours can let you handle daily life more safely and devote energy to the hobbies or simple pleasures Shadow Hills provides.
…and we’ll transform your day-to-day struggles into the proof officials need to deliver a robust, supportive care plan.
