Family CNA vs. IHSS: Understanding the Difference

The Family CNA Program and the IHSS (In-Home Support Services) each offer distinct benefits tailored to specific caregiving needs. The Family CNA Program specifically equips family members of medically complex children with formal, certified CNA training, enabling them to manage specialized healthcare tasks such as feeding tube management, trach care, and seizure monitoring. IHSS caters to adults and children enrolled in specific Medicaid waivers, offering flexible training without certification requirements, covering broader home care needs like health maintenance, personal care, and household support tasks.
