- Can provide between 195 and 283 paid care hours per month.
- Care is often delivered by a parent, spouse, or other family member.
- Approval typically requires detailed medical documentation and clear evidence of need.
- Legal assistance can strengthen your application and improve your chances of approval.
Everything You Need To Know About Protective Supervision
Protective supervision is an IHSS program that helps California residents of all ages live safely at home. Recipients have a mental impairment or illness that makes them “nonself-directing,” meaning they are unable to assess danger or the risk of harm and are therefore likely to engage in potentially dangerous behaviors. Recipients are entitled to either 195 or 283 service hours per month for supervised care, including care provided by an eligible parent or family member. Although protective supervision is not always easy to secure, it can provide a huge means of support for families.
