Overview
Mono County's IHSS program is administered by Social Services, with provider registry functions handled by Eastern Sierra IHSS — a regional registry operated by the nonprofit Community Service Solutions that also serves neighboring Alpine and Inyo counties.
Because of Mono County's remote geography along the eastern Sierra Nevada, the registry's physical office is actually located just across the state line in Minden, Nevada — the nearest practical population center for this stretch of the county.
Clara has Mono County’s contacts and current wage, and can explain how hours are decided.

Once you apply, the county schedules an in-home assessment. A social worker scores how much help you need with each task, and those scores decide your monthly hours — see how the Functional Index ranks work.

Local Notes & Quirks
- Registry office is physically in Nevada: genuinely distinctive among California counties — Mono's Eastern Sierra IHSS registry office sits in Minden, NV, just over the state line, since that's the nearest practical hub for this remote stretch of the county.
- Shared regional registry: Eastern Sierra IHSS, run by Community Service Solutions, coordinates provider registry services across Alpine, Inyo, and Mono counties jointly.
- Vast, mountainous geography: Mono County spans from Bridgeport to Mammoth Lakes along the Eastern Sierra — expect significant travel distances and winter weather to affect service availability at times.
