IHSS-Aligned Care & Family Support
Guidance, Support, and Compassion Through Every Step of Your IHSS Journey
When you’re currently providing medical or personal care for a loved one, navigating California’s In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program can be quite challenging. In addition to offering in-home care, Sahha Home Health Care, LLC works with families to help them understand, apply for, and maximize their IHSS benefits.
Our team is here to offer compassionate, simple assistance at every point, whether you are just starting the application process or are currently enrolled.
What Is IHSS, and Who Qualifies?
In California, IHSS is a state-funded program that assists qualified low-income people, such as seniors or those with disabilities, in receiving care at home rather than in a facility. This care can include help with bathing, dressing, cooking, feeding, and medical-related needs.
We help you determine:
- If your loved one qualifies for IHSS
- How to start or complete the application
- What types of services are covered
- How many approved care hours can your loved one receive
- How to track and report time as a caregiver
- Whether a family member can be paid to provide care
We’re here to make sure you understand all of your options, which many families are uninformed of.
IHSS Application & Case Management Support
It might be challenging to keep up with the medical data, interviews, and assessments needed to be authorized for IHSS. Sahha supports families:
- Gather and organize the required documentation
- Communicate with county social workers and health professionals
- Understand the care needs assessment process
- Prepare for home visits and interviews
- Clarify what services and hours can be requested
- Navigate appeals or re-evaluation if needed
We will be your advocate during the entire procedure, so you don’t have to deal with the system alone.
Support for Family Caregivers in IHSS
Whether it’s a mother taking care of a disabled child or a daughter taking care of an ageing father, a family member regularly takes on the role of primary caregiver. IHSS makes it possible for eligible family members to get payment for their care and time.
At Sahha, we offer:
- Training and education for family caregivers
- Emotional support and check-ins to help you avoid burnout
- Help with time sheets, compliance, and reporting
- Supplemental care plans for when IHSS hours fall short
- Backup caregivers for respite and emergencies
We recognize that providing care is a loving effort, but it can also be emotionally and physically demanding. That’s why we’re committed to supporting both the person receiving care and the one providing it.
We’re In This With You
Families rely on Sahha for the peace of mind we offer in addition to the care we offer. If you’re feeling confused by IHSS paperwork, stressed about caregiving, or unsure about your next steps, reach out to us. We’ll listen. We’ll explain. We’ll help.
Because when you work with Sahha, you’re getting more than just a caregiver, you’re getting a partner who knows the system, the challenges, and the passion that go into providing care.
