Homecare Providers are dedicated, trusted professionals working to make a positive impact in the lives of our Consumers with compassion and personal care.
Providers have the flexibility to set their own hours and work throughout San Francisco.
Providers who work 25 plus hours per month are eligible for very low-cost health and dental insurance.
The Public Authority assists Providers with job placement and paid skills training to ensure they are prepared and have the support they need.
Being a homecare Provider can be a pathway to future employment opportunities in the healthcare field.
“Because of [my IHSS Provider] I feel much more comfortable having people over, even for a brief hello. Before I had an IHSS worker I felt too self-conscious to have people over. I also feel more confidence when I meet people in the community, especially in the social justice organizations I belong to. I just feel more responsive and ready to act.”
- Donald, IHSS Recipient
