    The Best Care Begins with the Right Training

    While Minnesota sets basic requirements for background checks, age, and health, it mandates only a few specific training topics. This gives agency administrators the flexibility to choose the training solutions that best align with their business goals. That flexibility offers a powerful opportunity: with targeted training in areas like Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and personal care, agencies can differentiate themselves, attract and retain top talent, and deliver consistent, high-quality care that goes beyond compliance.

    Caregivers must undergo a criminal background check with fingerprinting, valid for 12 months and costing $32. This ensures compliance with state laws and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
