In-Home Supportive Services

Get a Vaccine

The In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program helps you to stay safe while you live in your own home. Get services in your home, hotel, or the home of a family member. IHSS is different from nursing homes or board and care homes, because you can stay in your own home. If you get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or qualify for Medi-Cal, you may be able to get IHSS.

If you need IHSS, please have this information ready:
- Name, address, and telephone number
- Date of birth, social security number, and Medi-Cal number
- Ethnicity, gender, and language spoken

You may also need: spouse’s name, social security number, and date of birth;
guardian or contact’s name, relationship, and telephone number.
