Provider orientation in Siskiyou County

Not stated online

The county does not say online whether orientation is in person or online. Its Public Authority page posts a "Provider Enrollment & Orientation (Packet A)" set of forms.

How to start: The county's IHSS page says you or your provider can contact your social worker or the Public Authority about enrollment requirements, and it names a staff contact for people interested in becoming a provider.

Call the Siskiyou County main IHSS line and ask how new providers complete orientation.

The Care Provider Readiness Certification is a private, verifiable credential that does: a 15-question knowledge check, then an instant PDF certificate and a badge any recipient can check live.
