In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)
The In-Home Supportive Services Program provides homemaker/chore services to over 2,000 seniors and disabled residents through the services of over 1,400 caregivers. Domestic care such as meal preparation, laundry, shopping and personal care services are provided to enable elderly, blind, or disabled persons to remain in their own home, to help maintain and strengthen capability for self-care, and to safeguard functioning in their own home.
You may be eligible for IHSS if you are a current recipient of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or would otherwise be eligible for SSI except for your level of income. IHSS is provided through Individual Providers who are hired by you, monitored by the Department, and paid by the State.
How to Apply for Adult Services
If you are elderly, blind or disabled and concerned for your own safety or if you are concerned about the safety of an elderly or dependent adult in San Luis Obispo County, please call (805) 781-1790.
Any person has the right to apply for In-Home Supportive Services for aged or dependent adults. Certain conditions must be met to qualify for the program. It is important if you or an elderly person you know needs help to contact the Department of Social Services and speak with a Social Worker.
