Frequently Asked Questions

What is IHSS and who is eligible for it?

IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) is a California state program that provides financial assistance for in-home care to low-income seniors, individuals with disabilities, and certain others who require support to live safely at home. Eligibility depends on factors such as income, residency, and medical necessity.

What types of services does IHSS cover?

IHSS covers a range of in-home care services, including personal care (bathing, grooming), meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation for medical appointments, and protective supervision for individuals needing constant monitoring.

How do I apply for IHSS?

You can apply for IHSS through your county's Department of Social Services. The application process includes submitting forms, providing documentation, and undergoing a home assessment to determine the level of care needed.

Can family members be paid caregivers under IHSS?

Yes, family members can become paid caregivers under IHSS, provided they meet program requirements and the recipient is eligible for care services. This allows loved ones to provide support while being compensated for their time.

How are IHSS service hours determined?

IHSS service hours are determined based on the recipient's specific care needs as assessed by a social worker during an in-home visit. Factors like medical conditions, mobility limitations, and household tasks required are considered.

What should I do if my IHSS application is denied?

If your IHSS application is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. Our team at All Seniors Foundation can assist with filing an appeal, ensuring all necessary documents and evidence are included to support your case.

How often are IHSS benefits reassessed?

IHSS benefits are typically reassessed annually, but they can be reviewed sooner if the recipient's condition changes. It’s essential to stay prepared with updated documentation to ensure continued eligibility.

Are there income limits to qualify for IHSS?

Yes, IHSS has income limits based on the Medi-Cal guidelines. However, certain income adjustments, such as deductions for medical expenses, may allow some individuals to qualify even if their gross income exceeds the limit.

Can IHSS hours be increased after the initial assessment?

Yes, IHSS hours can be increased if the recipient's care needs change. This may require submitting additional documentation and requesting a reassessment by the IHSS social worker.

How can All Seniors Foundation help with IHSS?

We assist with every step of the IHSS process, including eligibility evaluation, application submission, documentation support, and appeals for denied services. Our team ensures you receive the maximum care hours and benefits available under the program.
