Together we're making an impact
MORE THAN 18,000 TRAINED
We’ve trained over 18,000 nursing home workers and IHSS caregivers in California over the past 10 years.
MORE THAN $1,700,000 IN STIPENDS
We’ve awarded over $1.7 million in post-training stipends to graduates of our IHSS training.
LESS EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS AND HOSPITALIZATIONS
Our training helped reduce emergency department visits by 42% and hospitalizations by 60% for the people our caregivers serve.
"At L.A. Care, we understand that the majority of people prefer to stay in their homes, even when living with chronic and complex illnesses, and IHSS caregivers carry enormous responsibilities. This training has provided caregivers the tools necessary to improve our members health and comfort at home"
