The In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program Consumer and Provider Handbooks

The IHSS handbooks were the product of many people’s efforts. The topics covered were determined by input from the IHSS Enhancement Initiative Task Force, focus groups of consumers, providers, social workers, and public authority staff in three California counties. The guide includes topics such as assessment, public authority, hiring, practical details like timesheets and benefits, communication and organization skills. Publications are also available in Armenian, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish.
