Got a Question?

Personal Care Aides (PCAs) complete 40 hours of agency-approved training, including supervised hands-on practice. Home Health Aides are required to complete 75 hours of training to meet federal standards.

PCAs do not have a single state registry, but agencies must verify that training is completed through appropriate documentation. HHAs may require competency testing and background checks before employment.
