Channel Islands Social Services

Channel Islands Social Services (CISS) is a family-operated organization located in Ventura County, CA. The organization provides FREE in-home respite care (similar to childcare) in the family's own home and in the local community, as well as Independent Living Services. Eligible families and individuals receive funding from Tri-Counties Regional Center, North Los Angeles Regional Center, or the County of Ventura as Foster Parents or Kinship Families. We know how stress-ful life can be with-out sup-port from friends and fam-ily. Like-wise, all of us need a break from time to time to help us take care of our own needs and to refo-cus so that we can con-tinue to be strong for those who need us. Our com-mit-ted team of care-givers spe-cial-izes in pro-vid-ing sup-port to a vari-ety of fam-i-lies includ-ing those car-ing for peo-ple who have devel-op-men-tal dis-abil-i-ties (such as but not lim-ited to Autism, Down Syn-drome, Cere-bral Palsy, and intel-lec-tual dis-abil-i-ties), Fos-ter Par-ents and Kin-ship Care-givers of young children. Inspi-ra-tion for the orga-ni-za-tion was sparked dur-ing the sum-mer of 2004 when co-founder, Sharon M. Fran-cis, then Direc-tor of Com-mu-nity Devel-op-ment for Tri-Counties Regional Cen-ter, iden-ti-fied the unmet needs of chil-dren with devel-op-men-tal dis-abil-i-ties liv-ing in Ven-tura County with no local option for respite ser-vices. Until then, all agency respite ser-vices had been pro-vided by home health agen-cies offer-ing CNA, LVN, or RN ser-vices, or from large L.A.-based multi-service com-pa-nies. The CISS Admin-is-tra-tive team is made up of very car-ing and highly expe-ri-enced pro-fes-sion-als who are ded-i-cated to help-ing fam-i-lies. With hun-dreds of amaz-ing Respite Care-givers employed by CISS, the small admin-is-tra-tive team works tire-lessly to make sure the needs of both fam-i-lies and Respite Care-givers are being met.
