What is In-Home Support?
In-home supportive services are available for people who are aged, blind or disabled, can not perform activities of daily living and cannot remain safely in their own homes without help. We work with local caregivers to ensure that these people are able to remain in familiar surroundings – safely, comfortably and with as much independence as possible.
Types of Support
Recipients may receive assistance with daily tasks, such as:
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Cooking
- Cleaning
- Grooming
- Feeding
Eligibility
To find out if you are eligible for services, stop by our office, or call 530-225-5507 for an appointment. To be eligible, an applicant must:
- Be a California resident and residing in their own home
- Be aged (65 and over), blind or disabled
- Be receiving Medi-Cal benefits
- Have low income as set by SSI/SSP standards
- If income exceeds SSI/SSP standards, eligibility may exist with a share of cost
Anyone who recognizes that a person is in need of in-home assistance may refer a client to our program. Once a referral is received, a social worker will conduct an assessment to determine the applicant’s need. The determination will take into consideration the applicant’s medical condition, living arrangement and resources that may already be available.
Finding a Caregiver
If you are eligible for services, we can assist you with locating a caregiver through our registry of caregiver providers. A friend or relative may also serve as your caregiver. Once you have selected a caregiver, you will act as your caregiver's employer by supervising tasks and signing time sheets. We will arrange for your caregiver's payment.
