Everything 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.

-Claudia U.
James helped me with my appeal for IHSS protective supervision. James was very knowledgeable and fully prepared my case for hearing. The hearing lasted 3 hours, and I don't think I would have won protective supervision without him. I was very impressed with James at the hearing, as the county's hearing representative had no answer to most of his questions. I highly recommend James because he is honest and very capable. I am grateful that he helped us win protective supervision, which makes a big difference to my family.
-Abbas A.
