What Maryland requires of a caregiver
Maryland issues no caregiver credential of its own, by its own rules.
- A licensed residential service agency must screen each caregiver (state criminal history records check or private background check, TB screening, references, in-person interview, skills assessment and demonstration before referral) and train caregivers in personal care, CPR, infection control, abuse prevention and other listed topics; a client who requires a certified caregiver for activities of daily living or medication administration must get a certified one.
