Got a Question?

Caregiver training requirements in Vermont vary by home-based care roles, primarily Home Health Aides (HHAs) and Private-Pay caregivers:

  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) complete state-approved training (typically ~100 hours initial), covering personal care, ADLs (bathing, grooming, mobility), and basic supportive care under supervision. They also complete annual training (around 12 hours) to maintain competency.
  • Private-Pay caregivers follow agency-defined onboarding and training, focused on the services they provide (personal care, safety, and home support).

Certification requirements in Vermont depend on the home-based care role:

  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) must complete a state-approved training and competency program, but a separate certification is not required for all home care roles beyond meeting these training standards.
  • Private-Pay caregivers are not required to be certified and instead follow agency-defined training and competency requirements.
