Greetings I have a qu and no answers at all. does SS provide help for an elder in her early 80. my mom needs to get help with her house and other things. does SS have this kind of service?

Not that I'm aware of but if your mom needs help around the house (anything from light house cleaning, errands,shopping, self-care, cooking, etc.) and if she's eligible, SLO County Social Services will be what you're looking for. There's a service provided by them that matches you up with an IHSS provider (In-Home Social Services) that's outfitted to your needs and requirements Basically, someone at Social Services conducts an assessment of your ADL's (activities of daily living) highlights the areas of concern and provides the agency with a profile/outline of services to assist. It could be anywhere from a couple of hours a week to several hours a day, just depends. You might have to try a few out before you find the right fit for your mom, but generally my experience with them has been nothing but positive. Hope this helps.😇

i do not know...go with County Social Services first
