Caregivers sought for county’s older adults and individuals with disabilities

Older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout San Bernardino County are in need of caregivers. In 2023, the population of adults, 60 years or older in San Bernardino County was 417,606.

San Bernardino County In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)-Public Authority is recruiting caregivers to provide personal care and domestic services that will allow older adults and individuals with disabilities to remain safely in their homes.

Caregiver applicants are screened and registered in the IHSS-Public Authority Registry database and matched with an older adult or disabled adult to deliver in-home supportive services. The types of services authorized through IHSS are housecleaning, meal preparation, laundry, grocery shopping, personal care services (such as bowel and bladder care, bathing, grooming and paramedical services), accompaniment to medical appointments and protective supervision for the mentally impaired.

“Caregivers are essential to the health and well-being of older and disabled adults,” said Myette Christian, acting executive director of IHSS-Public Authority. “They provide in-home support services throughout the county, from our deserts to our mountains that can allow this group of people to remain safely in their homes.”

IHSS-PA is recruiting caring and hardworking individuals to meet the needs of IHSS clients. You do not need to be a professional caregiver to sign up for the registry.
