Join Sonoma County’s In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Team for a Community Training

Learn how IHSS helps low-income older adults and individuals with disabilities remain safely in their homes and maintain their independence, rather than entering institutional care.

About the Session:
This training will provide an overview of IHSS eligibility, the services covered, and how the program supports some of the most vulnerable members of our community. You’ll learn how individuals who meet Medi-Cal eligibility requirements may qualify for IHSS, which promotes dignity and independence through in-home caregiving.

We’ll also guide you through the process of accessing IHSS services — from the first phone call to what to expect during intake and assessment.

As the need for in-home care continues to grow, we’ll discuss how community members can help fill this gap. You’ll learn what it means to become an IHSS provider, the responsibilities involved, and how caregivers play a vital role in enhancing the health and well-being of clients across Sonoma County.

Understand who qualifies for IHSS and the services offered
