Essential Facts About Protective Supervision
Protective Supervision under IHSS is designed for individuals with cognitive or mental impairments who require constant monitoring. This service offers compensated care to help prevent harm that may result from unsafe behaviors or limited awareness.
Here are some key points to know:
- Intended for individuals who cannot safely remain on their own (non–self-directing).
- May provide up to 283 hours of paid supervision each month.
- Approval often depends on thorough medical documentation and evidence.
- Care can be provided by a parent, spouse, or other relative.
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.
