居家支持服务
2013 年 3 月 19 日,社会服务部和卫生保健服务部宣布与家庭支持服务 (IHSS) 受益人和劳工组织达成协议,以解决涉及 IHSS 计划的几起集体诉讼。 该协议解决了奥斯特诉莱特伯恩案和多明格斯诉施瓦辛格案中州政府与原告之间的纠纷。

居家支持服务加州计划选项 (IHSS+)
2009 年 9 月,IHSS Plus 豁免转换为 IHSS Plus 州计划选择计划。 IHSS Plus 计划向已登记的护理提供者(包括父母或配偶)支付费用,以向合格的 Medi-Cal 接受者提供服务。 符合该计划参与资格的人员包括年满 65 岁、失明或可能被安置在家庭外护理机构的残疾人士。 该计划允许参与者在家中接受服务。
To receive services, an assessment is conducted to determine which types of services may be authorized for each participant based on their needs. Services provided through IHSS can include: housecleaning, meal preparation, laundry, grocery shopping, personal care services (such as bowel and bladder care, bathing, grooming and paramedical services), accompaniment to medical appointments, and/or protective supervision for the mentally impaired. Authorized services may be provided by a parent, a spouse or a caregiver. Recipients may qualify for the option of receiving advance pay and restaurant meal allowance.
