About Personal assistance services council
The Personal Assistance Services Council (PASC) is a public authority that is dedicated to improving the In-Home Supportive Services Program and enhancing the quality of life for all people who receive and provide In-Home Supportive Services. PASC serves as the public authority for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) in Los Angeles County, providing assistance to individuals with disabilities, seniors, and others who require support services in their homes.
The IHSS program provides a range of services that enable individuals to remain in their homes rather than being placed in institutional care. These services include personal care, housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation assistance, and other supportive services. The goal of PASC is to ensure that these services are delivered efficiently and effectively so that individuals can maintain their independence while receiving the support they need.
PASC works closely with IHSS providers to ensure that they have access to training and resources needed to provide high-quality care. This includes training on topics such as infection control, medication management, communication skills, and more. PASC also provides ongoing support through its provider registry system which helps connect clients with qualified providers based on their specific needs.
In addition to supporting IHSS providers directly, PASC also advocates for policies at the local and state level that promote access to quality home-based care. This includes working with policymakers on issues such as funding for IHSS programs or changes in regulations related to home-based care.
One of the key benefits of working with PASC is its commitment to transparency and accountability. The organization regularly publishes reports on its activities including financial statements which are available online for public review. This level of transparency helps build trust between clients, providers, policymakers and other stakeholders involved in delivering home-based care.
