Living in Valley Village often means tree-lined streets and a friendly neighborhood, but a limited In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) schedule can make upkeep hard. Perhaps your doctor’s paperwork mentions only “mild fatigue,” overlooking the fatigue you feel even doing light cleaning or how gripping tools aggravates hand pain. Without specifics like these, county officials assume you can manage on minimal hours.
Identify each stumbling block: do you need help putting away groceries, or do you dread laundry day due to your back? Detailed honesty about these hurdles shifts the conversation from “minor inconvenience” to “daily struggle.” By documenting how each chore wears you down, you strengthen your appeal for more IHSS hours in Valley Village’s typically cozy homes.
The All Seniors Foundation turns your real-life difficulties into well-organized evidence. We’ll ask targeted questions about your morning routine, cooking habits, and how you handle daily errands to expose the full scope of tasks you can’t safely do alone.
Don’t let a too-short care schedule jeopardize your safety or force you to skip basic tasks. More IHSS hours can provide the support you need to stay confident and engaged in this community.
…then let us help you craft thorough documentation that accurately reflects your day-to-day challenges.
