In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) are designed to help eligible individuals, particularly seniors, people with disabilities, or those with chronic illnesses, remain in the safety and comfort of their own homes. This program covers non-medical assistance such as meal preparation, personal care, house cleaning, and supervision. IHSS aims to reduce the need for institutional care by offering essential day-to-day support that promotes independence and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is In-Home Supportive Services, and how does it work?
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a program that helps people who are elderly, disabled, or living with a chronic illness stay in their homes by covering the cost of help with daily activities like bathing, cooking, and cleaning. The services are provided at home rather than in a facility.
Am I still in control if I have someone helping me through IHSS?
Yes, you remain in control of your daily routine and personal preferences. The person assisting follows your direction and helps only with tasks that have been approved through the program.
How do I know if I qualify for IHSS in Minnesota?
To be eligible, you usually need to be 65 or older, have a disability, or have a health condition that limits your ability to safely complete daily tasks. There’s an assessment to review your situation and determine which services can be approved.
Do I have to live alone to qualify for IHSS?
No, you don’t have to live alone. What matters is whether you need help completing daily activities due to your health condition, not who lives in the home with you.
Will the person helping me be a nurse or a family member?
The helper could be a trained caregiver, a relative, or someone you choose who qualifies to provide the services. IHSS covers non-medical help, not skilled nursing care.
