How IHSS Caregivers Make a Difference for Older Adults and Those With Disabilities

August 16, 2021 • the Service Station - Riverside County Department of Public Social Services

In-home caregivers help clients who receive In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) live safely at home instead of in a nursing care facility. A woman named Kristine who has disabilities shares just how vital they are. She's speaking with TheServiceStation along with one of her caregivers. They're talking about the nature of the caregiver-client relationship, the difference home workers make in a person's daily life and the need for more in-home caregivers as Riverside County's aging population quickly grows.
