Frequently Asked Questions About Caregiver Training in New Hampshire

Caregiver training requirements in New Hampshire vary by role and are focused on home-based care services:

  • Direct Care Staff (Personal Care Providers) must complete at least 8 hours of initial training before assisting with tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and feeding. Training includes communication, safety, ADLs, nutrition, documentation, and use of assistive devices.
  • Homemakers receive task-specific training based on services such as housekeeping, meal preparation, shopping, and maintaining a safe home environment.
  • Dementia care training is required for staff supporting clients with Alzheimer’s or related conditions, including initial and ongoing annual training.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) follow separate state-approved training programs (typically 100+ initial hours and annual training).

  • Homemakers and non-medical caregivers can use online training for onboarding and ongoing education, depending on the services provided.
