Public Authority Registry

What is the Public Authority Registry?

The Public Authority helps match In-Home Supportive Service recipients with quality care providers by keeping a registry of people who need in-home care and those who are approved to provide care. We recruit, screen and provide orientation to care providers, and work to ensure that our registry is a safe and reliable source for those who need in-home assistance.

Who Can Use the Registry?

Anyone eligible for In-Home Supportive Services through Shasta County can use our registry to find a caregiver. By filling out a short form, we can match you with someone that meets your specific needs and preferences. Care providers may also use the registry to find work.

Care Providers

In order to be placed on our registry, you must:

1. Be enrolled as an IHSS provider. You must have completed an enrollment form, completed a background check, attend an orientation and sign an agreement that you understand the rights and responsibilities of being a care provider.
2. Call the Public Authority office at 229-8330 and request an application.
