IHSS Protective Supervision
Protective Supervision under IHSS is a critical service for individuals with cognitive or mental impairments that place them at risk in daily life. It provides consistent oversight to prevent accidents, injuries, or unsafe actions caused by confusion, memory issues, or impaired judgment.
Key points to note:
- Intended for recipients who cannot remain alone safely without supervision.
- Eligible individuals may receive up to 283 hours of paid supervision each month.
- Authorization depends on thorough medical evaluations and detailed supporting documentation.
- Supervision can be offered by a parent, spouse, or another eligible family member or caregiver.
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.
