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.
Dedicated IHSS Legal Guidance for Long Beach Clients
Caring for a loved one with a disability or cognitive condition often requires time, energy, and outside support. In Long Beach, many families juggle full-time responsibilities while trying to secure help through public programs like In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). While IHSS can offer essential in-home care, the process of applying or appealing a denial can be challenging without legal support.
