				I am trying to get my best friend to become a caregiver for me in my own home. we've spent 6 month doing everything they've asked and waited and waited. Only to find out this week that they would only allow me 26 hours a month of care. 
 
 
 
Is there anyone for me to fight this and get more?!?!?!?

				`Hi.  Are you eligible for IHSS (in-home supportive services)?  If so, ask for a review.  A representative will come in and ask you how much help you need personally.  And how much time in minutes it takes to do certain things.  I suggest for you to exaggerate.  Say, if it takes 40 minutes to shower, tell her it takes 70 minutes.  
 
 
Are you a Regional Center client?  They may be able to help.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Good luck!
