In-Home Support Services (IHSS)
Children's Home and Community Based Services (CHCBS Waiver)
CHCBS is available for children with significant medical needs. It enables us to hire parents and other family members to take care of children under 18. We believe IHSS is a better alternative to the Parent CNA program in most cases.
No CNA license required!
Elderly, Blind, and Disabled (EBD Waiver)
EBD allows people to be paid to take care of their elderly parents or adult children. It provides assistance to seniors who have a functional impairment, or are blind, or physically disabled adults.
No CNA license required!
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI Waiver)
SCI helps individuals with spinal cord injuries remain in a community setting. This waiver is now available statewide as of July 2022.

Is IHSS Better Than Parent CNA For Many Colorado Families?
IHSS
- No license required (The Nurse Practice Act is waived, allowing unlicensed caregivers to perform care only a CNA or RN would typically be allowed to do. An RN validates your skills to ensure they are being performed safely and correctly.)
- Caregivers are paid for Health Maintenance care, which in many cases is beyond what a CNA license allows.
- Under the EBD & SCI waivers, family members can be paid for Personal Care tasks. (CHCBS allows only Health Maintenance)
- Does not require a nurse in your home every 60 days.
- Your local Case Management agency enrolls you in IHSS
- We pay IHSS caregivers better than other agencies pay Parent CNAs.
- Many IHSS clients qualify for more hours.
Parent CNA
- CNA license required (You must complete a school program with 75 hours of training including 16 hours of in-person labs and 16 hours of in-person clinical instruction. Then you must take a state written exam and a skills exam. If you fail you pay for each attempt.)
- Only pays for CNA level tasks (unless you are an RN)
- Does not pay family members to do Personal Care tasks.
- Requires a nurse to come into your home every 60 days for a recertification assessment.
- Your home health agency enrolls you in Parent CNA (over 20 years old go through the Case Management Agency.)
- Many Parent CNA clients qualify for less hours.
