The Public Authority Registry is a referral service assisting In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) consumers. This registry provides a list of pre-screened and experienced care providers who match the needs
of the consumer.
Our staff is available to assist consumers by sending a tailored list of care providers who are available to work the authorized IHSS services and hours. In addition, the registry matches requests for specific criteria such as geographic location, language, and desired hours.
The consumer interviews potential care providers from the referral list and makes the final decision on the selection of a candidate as well as supervises the work of the care provider.
The Public Authority Registry staff also assists IHSS consumers with tips and guidance to ensure a successful and healthy working relationship with their provider.
Whether you need a new care provider or need to hire additional providers, the Registry is here to help! For more information, call (408) 350-3251 and ask to speak to a Registry Specialist.
