What Pennsylvania requires of a caregiver
Pennsylvania issues no caregiver credential of its own, by its own rules.
- Before assignment, a direct care worker must hold a Pennsylvania nurse's license, pass the agency's competency exam, or complete a qualifying training program (agency-developed, a 42 CFR 484.36 home health aide program, the state nurse aide program, or a Medicaid waiver program's training); personal care work adds topics such as bathing, transfers, feeding and toileting.
- Staying active: The agency reviews each worker's competency at least once a year.

- Nourishing Meal Support: Prepare light, appetizing breakfasts and dinners/snacks aligned with dietary tolerances, keeping hydration accessible throughout the visit.
- Engaging Companionship: Build an empathetic, positive rapport through conversation, reading, quiet company, or simply being a reassuring presence on low-energy days.
- Comfort & Observation: Maintain a calm, organized living space; observe physical changes or fatigue levels, and coordinate smoothly with family or the care team.
