What to Know About Protective Supervision
Protective supervision is available under IHSS for individuals with cognitive or mental impairments who need 24/7 oversight. It provides paid care to prevent injury due to unsafe behaviors or lack of awareness.
Here are some key points to know:
- For individuals unable to stay safe alone (nonself-directing).
- Provides up to 283 paid care hours per month.
- Often granted with strong documentation and medical proof.
- Can be provided by a parent, spouse, or relative caregiver.
- We help families apply for and secure protective supervision through IHSS.
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.
