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.
