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. Applicants must provide work and personal references and give permission to the Registry to check work history and to 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 for referral. Referrals are based on geographic location, consumer service needs, and provider skills.
Registry providers must report any changes in address, telephone number, or availability. Providers who do not call in with these updates may be placed on inactive status and will not be referred to consumers.
Please note: If you currently work for an IHSS consumer, you are not necessarily a Registry provider. IHSS consumers may choose any provider they would like, but Registry providers go through a more extensive application process in order to be referred out by the Public Authority. If you have a question about whether or not you are a Registry provider, contact us.
