In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Call In – Pushing Limits – July 19, 2024

KPFA - Pushing Limits

Our expert, Connie Arnold has worked to improve In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) for over 35 years and she uses IHSS attendants for her own independence. She’s agreed to come answer your questions about this ubiquitous state program – the one many of us depend upon, appreciate, and want to dropkick to hell.

Send your questions before the show, or call us when we’re on the air at 510-848-4425 or 800-958-9008…

• If you struggle to get your social worker to provide the hours that you need to stay independent
• if you need nurses to do home medical care
• If your care comes from family members
• If you hire your attendants from Craig’s List
• If you have a Home and Community Based Alternative Waiver
• If you’re brand new to the program

In short, if you have any questions about any part of this $24 billion dollar a year social service, this radio program is for you.

Connie Arnold graduated from U.C. Berkeley with a degree in Social Welfare and from Sonoma State University with a Master’s degree in Health Services & Public Administration Policy. She routinely, some say obsessively, attends state meetings, reads legal and policy documents, and tells the unvarnished truth.

Adrienne Lauby produced this program. She and Shelley Berman will host.
