Alabama Caregiver Compliance Checklist – Personal Care Assistant (PCA, E&D Waiver)

Supporting Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) in Alabama requires more than basic onboarding. It demands consistent alignment with training standards, documentation expectations, and ongoing compliance requirements under the Elderly and Disabled (E&D) Waiver Program. With evolving regulations and increased oversight, agencies must ensure every PCA is properly prepared, documented, and reviewed to deliver safe, reliable, non-medical care.

A structured compliance checklist helps agencies eliminate guesswork, reduce risk, and maintain consistency across their care teams. It serves as a practical tool to guide administrators, supervisors, and compliance teams through each required step, from initial training verification to ongoing annual reviews, so nothing is overlooked.

Use this checklist to support PCA compliance in Alabama:

• Understand PCA responsibilities related to non-medical activities of daily living (ADL) support
• Confirm completion of required initial training before care begins
• Track ongoing training and competency requirements
• Maintain required documentation for audits and compliance reviews
• Conduct annual compliance reviews to ensure continued alignment with E&D Waiver standards

With this checklist, agencies can stay organized, strengthen compliance processes, and confidently manage PCA requirements under Alabama’s E&D Waiver Program while supporting caregivers with clear expectations and consistent oversight.
