IHSS

First Hope Home Care. is dedicated to making caregiver assistance feel like home. We proudly offer In-Home Support Services (IHSS) in Denver, Aurora, and surrounding Colorado areas — a Medicaid program that allows you to choose your own caregiver, even a trusted family member or friend. With IHSS, you remain in control of your care, while we provide the support, structure, and oversight that ensure it is always safe, reliable, and dignified.

IHSS Basics: What You Need to Know

In-Home Support Services (IHSS) is a Colorado Medicaid program designed for individuals who need assistance with daily living activities but wish to remain independent in the comfort of their own homes.

Unlike traditional care programs where agencies assign caregivers, IHSS gives you the freedom to hire, train, and supervise the caregiver of your choice — whether that’s a spouse, parent, sibling, or close friend. As your trusted IHSS provider, First Hope Home Care. takes care of payroll, caregiver training, and quality assurance so you can focus on what truly matters: your health, comfort, and peace of mind.

Who is Eligible for IHSS?

To qualify for In-Home Support Services (IHSS) in Colorado, you must:

• Reside in Colorado
• Be enrolled in Health First Colorado (Medicaid)
• Be assessed by the state as requiring an institutional level of care
• Have a physician certify that in-home care is medically necessary

First Hope Home Care. can guide you or your loved ones through the eligibility requirements and help navigate the IHSS application and approval process.
