Dementia-specific eligibility
California's In-Home Supportive Services programme assesses the specific tasks a person needs help with and authorises hours accordingly. The cited page does not publish the assessment thresholds or the maximum authorised hours, so confirm both with the county IHSS office.
Asset limits: No current asset limit - California eliminated the Medi-Cal/IHSS asset test entirely effective January 1, 2024. A reduced asset limit is planned to be reinstated in 2027, but has not yet taken effect. for a single applicant, No current asset limit - same elimination applies regardless of household size. A reduced asset limit is planned to be reinstated in 2027, but has not yet taken effect. for a couple.
What makes CA different: IHSS lets the recipient choose and direct their own provider, including hiring a family member in many cases, rather than being assigned a worker by an agency.
How to apply: Application is made through the county IHSS office or California Department of Social Services, followed by an in-home assessment from a county social worker to determine authorized hours.
