Protective Supervision Fundamentals
Protective Supervision is an IHSS service designed for individuals with cognitive or mental impairments who require continuous monitoring to remain safe. This program provides compensated care to help prevent injuries resulting from unsafe behaviors or a lack of awareness.
Here are some key points to know:
- Intended for individuals who cannot remain safe without constant oversight.
- May provide up to 283 hours of paid care each month.
- Approval typically requires strong documentation and medical verification.
- 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.
