The Registry is a Service that includes recruiting and screening IHSS Caregivers, maintaining a database of available caregivers, helping clients with Interview Assistance, and referring Registry Caregivers to IHSS Clients.
A computer program searches the database and generates a list of caregivers to be referred to clients according to location, personal care needs, work schedule and other job related preferences. The client interviews, hires and supervises the caregiver they choose. Registry Services and referral lists are free for all Individuals.
Services rendered to IHSS clients by Providers:
- Preparing meals and feeding
- Keeping the house clean
- Bathing and dressing
- Shopping and laundry
- Assisting with personal care
In short, a provider can become a trusted and very important partner in allowing you to live independently in your own home.
