In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) in Monterey County
The Monterey County Department of Social Services may be able to assist students with disabilities through a state-wide program. Students on Social Security Insurance may expedite eligibility.
The In-Home Supportive Services program assists low-income elderly and disabled adults and children to remain safely in their own homes. The program pays the wages for a helper (provider) to come into the home to do housekeeping, laundry and personal care, shopping for groceries and other essentials, meal preparation and clean up and medical transportation. IHSS staff work closely with the staff of the Public Authority for In-Home Supportive Services to assist clients to find a provider.
