Registry
How the Registry Works
We maintain a list of in-home care providers who are available to work for IHSS consumers.
Potential Providers attend an orientation meeting and complete an application process that includes providing references and giving permission for the Registry to check references, work history and conduct a criminal background check. If the provider qualifies to be on the Registry, there may be an interview with Registry staff before being added to the Registry listing for referral. Referrals are based on geographic location, service need and provider skills.
Registry Providers should call the Registry monthly to report any changes in address or telephone numbers or in days you are available for work. If you do not call with these updates, your file could be put on inactive status and your name would not be referred to consumers.
