Before you start · 4 things to check
  • Choose your county to find the providers listed by California SILC. The 28 centres are separate organizations; a branch or regional provider may be in another county.
  • Some service areas use ZIP codes or programme-specific rules. County maps help you browse; they do not establish eligibility at your address.
  • Check the named branch before visiting. Appointment, drop-in, phone and office times differ. The directory shows current quoted contacts and selected local instructions with their sources.
  • State core-service descriptions appear once here. Local intake, capacity, equipment costs and specialized programme eligibility must be checked with the provider. ILC housing and attendant referrals do not guarantee housing, a paid caregiver or a benefit decision.
