4 Pretty Purple Walls Home Health Agency is dedicated to placing individuals who are able to provide only non-medical services with fewer regulations. We focus on personalized services for clients. A family member providing unpaid services for a loved one does not need a specific license. Similarly, a private caregiver hired directly by a family for non-medical assistance may not be subject to state licensing mandates, though the family can require certain qualifications.
The requirements differ for those working for a non-medical home care agency. The agency itself must be licensed by the state, even if the individual caregiver is not. These agencies must follow regulations that include mandatory criminal background checks for all employees. They may also require caregivers to complete basic safety training, like CPR and first aid, and some states require aides to be listed on a state registry after passing a background check.
