In-Home Supportive Services加州計劃選項 ( IHSS )
IHSS Plus 豁免已將 2009 年 9 月轉換為 IHSS Plus 州立計劃選擇計劃。 IHSS Plus 計劃支付註冊護理提供者,包括父母或配偶,為合格的 Medi-Cal 接受者提供服務。 參加計劃的資格包括 65 歲或以上、盲人或殘疾人士,可能被放置在家外護理設施的人士。 該計劃允許參與者在家接收服務。
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.
