    The Best Care Begins with the Right Training

    While Oregon 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.

    Got a Question?

    Get quick insights into caregiver certification, training hours, and how Learn2Care simplifies the process for you.

    Oregon requires in-home caregivers to be at least 18 years old and pass a background check. While specific training hours may vary by agency, topics like infection control, safety, and personal care are commonly expected.

    Home Health Aides must complete 75 hours of training, including 16 hours of supervised practical training, as per federal guidelines adopted by Oregon.

    For most in-home caregiver roles, certification is not mandated by the state. However, HHAs and Medicaid-funded roles often require formal training and documentation of competencies.

    Yes! Learn2Care offers training aligned with federal standards and customizable for Oregon's care environment, helping agencies meet both compliance and quality care goals.

    While not always required by law, many employers request valid CPR and First Aid certification, especially for caregivers working with medically fragile clients.

    Yes. Most employers require a negative TB test as part of their health screening process before employment.

    Caregiving services are overseen by the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), specifically the Office of Aging and People with Disabilities (APD).

    With Learn2Care’s Progress Monitoring system, you can track assignments, course completion, quiz scores, and overall caregiver performance in real time.

    It's recommended that caregiver training be refreshed annually. Regular updates ensure caregivers stay informed on best practices and evolving care standards, keeping your agency both compliant and competitive.

    Here’s how strategic training benefits both agencies and caregivers:

    • Enhanced Skills & Confidence: Upskilling ensures caregivers are competent and confident, building trust with clients and raising the standard of care.
    • Reduced Risk & Liability: Consistent, high-quality training aligned with industry best practices reduces agency liability and improves compliance readiness.
    • Attract & Retain Talent: A strong training culture signals growth potential, helping you recruit passionate caregivers and retain top performers.
    • Career Growth & Motivation: Ongoing development keeps caregivers engaged and provides a clear path for professional advancement.
    • Client Satisfaction & Referrals: Well-trained caregivers are more likely to deliver exceptional care, leading to happier clients and valuable word-of-mouth referrals.

    Investing in caregiver development showcases your agency’s commitment to quality, compassion, and long-term success for your team and the people you serve.
