Community Services Agency

Marie joined the Committee to learn more about IHSS and improve IHSS services. She is on the Board of the Continuum College in Turlock, and s pends a lot of time helping her daughter accomplish all that she can. Marie also enjoys church activities and sewing.

I have been an In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Committee (IHSSAC) member since April 25, 2017. In the short time I have been a member, I have met some very caring people. I have learned to appreciate the IHSSAC and all its efforts. Being a parent of a Special needs Daughter, I feel that I am qualified to be a member of this Committee. I value the diversity of ideas and opinions that my fellow Committee members share. I feel that by being on the Committee I have become a stronger more knowledgeable person and am better equipped to advocate for the IHSS community.

My name is Janet Ward and I was appointed to the In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Committee on December 5, 2017. I've been an In-Home Supportive Services consumer for a few years. I have received some excellent assistance so that I can stay in my home.

I've lived in this area for almost 50 years and have raised 3 daughters and have 4 beautiful grandchildren ranging in age from 5 to 17.

I also am looking forward to building a raised vegetable garden this spring. I am excited about the thought of going into my backyard to pick fresh vegetables for dinner!

I hope to be able to assist on the IHSS Advisory Committee with my knowledge and further growth in our community.
