District of Columbia requires a state credential from the DC Health (Health Regulation and Licensing Administration; Board of Nursing): Home Health Aide certification (DC Board of Nursing). A licensed home support agency (non-medical) must use home health aides qualified under 17 DCMR 9300 for personal care services, which in this rule include companion and homemaker services; Board of Nursing certification by examination requires a board-approved home health aide training program (or an equivalent route) and a criminal background check. Aides are supervised on site by a registered nurse at least every 90 days; the HHA exam is run by Credentia under contract with DC Health. No degree; agencies train new caregivers, and some states require a short course.
