Adult Services
Adult Services provides assistance to elderly and dependent adults who are victims of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and helps pay for services provided to disabled adults and children so that they can remain safely in their own home. The Public Guardian acts as a court appointed Conservator who can legally make decisions on behalf of persons who are unable to make their own decisions. The Public Administrator safeguards the property of a deceased person.

The significant role the Public Authority fulfills within the IHSS Program is to offer services that assist consumers with greater access to providers. Public Authority is the provider's employer of record for purposes of collective bargaining for wages and benefits.
The Public Authority is mandated by the State of California and was created specifically as a program improvement for consumers and providers. Public Authority maintains a provider registry, which is a computerized database listing qualified and screened IHSS providers.
CalSavers is a new optional retirement program designed for all California individuals, including IHSS providers, which offers automatic employment retirement contribution options. Easy enrollment by phone or online. Multilingual support and materials are available.
