Printable kit for hospitals, aging networks, and congregations
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.
These one-pagers are for staff and volunteers who already help families. Print to PDF from the browser. Each page points to short California Home Help URLs and official CDSS links. They do not quote wages, hours, or unofficial office numbers.
Co-brand by adding your program name in the header space before you print. Keep the official CDSS and DHCS lines intact.
