PASC Homecare Registry
Who can join the Registry as a Provider?
PASC Registry provider applicants must be “eligible” to do In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) work pursuant to current state laws. In other words, Registry provider applicants must have already:
- attended the in-person or online county orientation meeting for IHSS providers
- cleared a criminal background investigation conducted by the California Department of Justice. Provider applicants who have never worked for the IHSS Program or who have stopped working for one or more years should call the IHSS Helpline to comply with the above requirements before contacting PASC.
How can an individual join the Registry as a provider?
The applicant must be “eligible” and meet all of the state-mandated IHSS requirements. The applicant must also complete a Registry Provider Application. The application may be submitted online, sent by email, mail, or fax.
Attend a Registry Information & Recruitment Meeting:
PASC Homecare Registry conducts information/provider recruitment meetings in different cities throughout the year. At these 2-hour long meetings, provider applicants learn about the Registry’s expectations, required code of conduct on the job, and generalities about the IHSS program. At the end of the meeting, applicants will be given the registry application form, which solicits information on the applicants’ experience and willingness to do the different IHSS tasks. Eligible providers interested in this option should call 877-565-4477, then press 2 followed by 1 for further information, or send an email to Lgonzalez@pascla.org.
Apply in Person at PASC Office:
Eligible providers can apply to the Registry in person by visiting PASC Headquarters in Pasadena Monday to Friday, between 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. To avoid any misunderstanding, we advise those applicants who choose this option to verify their eligibility to do IHSS work before arrival. Applicants will be served on a first-come, first-served basis, and should plan on spending up to an hour at our office. Due to space limitations, in case other adults accompany the applicant, we recommend that these adults remain in their cars.

IMPORTANT: Providers with Tier 2 convictions are not eligible to join the Registry. Also, if Registry staff concludes, based upon information from any reliable sources, including DPSS, APS, or law enforcement, that a Provider/applicant’s past services or character are such that no well-advised Consumer would be likely to consider the applicant for hire, the Registry may exclude or deny Registry participation to the Provider applicant.
