There are currently more than 30,000 In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) care recipients living in Santa Clara County, many of whom are looking to hire care providers.
If you know someone who has provided caregiving services in the past and would be a good IHSS Independent Care Provider (IP), let them know Public Authority Services is looking for more IPs to add to the Registry. The Registry sends lists of pre-screened and vetted IPs to IHSS consumers who need a provider.
Medical, dental, and vision benefits are available for only $25 per month for IHSS IPs working more than 35 hours monthly. All IHSS IPs are eligible for a free VTA SmartPass to use buses and light rails in Santa Clara County and are offered free training classes to improve caregiving skills. IHSS IPs are paid $17.62 per hour.
Members of the Registry must complete the enrollment process, which includes a background check. Those interested in becoming a Registry IP can learn more by visiting the pascc.org Registry Independent Provider Recruitment page.
