IHSS Hours Planner

A planning tool for providers and recipients in California. It helps schedule hours while respecting weekly caps and complex multi-provider scenarios. Always verify totals with your county.

Important Notes:

A "day off" in this planner means the provider is completely unavailable and will not work for any recipient on that day.
The daily hours shown are a suggestion based on an even distribution. Always fill out your official timesheet to reflect the actual hours you worked.
