IHSS & Home-Health Pathway
Many LMCC graduates — especially those caring for relatives — layer the HHA certification on top of CNA. Per the BPPE 2024 Annual Report, the LMCC HHA cohort had a 97.6% placement rate. IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) is a paid pathway for family caregivers in California; graduates often combine IHSS hours with home-health agency shifts to build full-time income.
