About California Home Help
Updated September 16, 2026. Reviewed September 16, 2026 against public CDSS, DHCS, Medicare.gov, VA, and CareScout 2025 California tables. County wages, hours, and wait times still change. Official .gov pages decide.
California Home Help explains In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) and Medi-Cal home care in plain language for adult children helping a parent stay home. We publish county pages, guides, tools, and cost-of-care planning estimates. We help families organize paperwork. We are not a county or state agency.
Short answer
The site is operated by Sevah Robotics, Inc., which also operates a home care team. Mentions of Sevah are a late, optional invite to talk about care at home. IHSS eligibility, hours, and provider pay remain county and Medi-Cal decisions. Cost tables cite CareScout 2025 California statewide medians and official CDSS links.

Editorial standards
- Program facts are drawn from CDSS, DHCS, Medicare.gov, VA, and California Department of Insurance public pages. This about page was reviewed 2026-09-16.
- Private-pay cost planning uses CareScout 2025 California statewide medians, with the survey, collection window, and URLs cited on /data and /costs.
- We do not invent county IHSS wages, hour caps, income limits, or wait times. We link official pages instead.
- Spanish pages under /es are hand-authored HTML with hreflang. They are not a browser translation overlay.
- Corrections: if an official page changes, file the county packet from the official form, then tell us through /get-started so we can review the education copy.
