What Ohio requires of a caregiver
Ohio issues no caregiver credential of its own, by its own rules.
- Since October 1, 2022 agencies providing nonmedical home health services (home health aide and personal care services) need an ODH license; ODH's rules require a criminal records check and database review for each applicant for a direct care position, and name no aide training hours or credential.
- Staying active: Criminal background checks on direct care employees are repeated at least every five years.
