    Hawaii’s Aging Population and Caregiving Landscape

    Did you know?

    As of 2023, 18.2% of Hawaii’s population is aged 65 and older, and this is projected to increase to 25% by 2040. Many of these seniors will require some form of care, with estimates ranging from 30% to 80%, depending on their health status. In this evolving caregiving landscape, caregivers and agencies face numerous regulations and diverse needs, highlighting the importance of effective navigation for success.

    Here’s a quick breakdown to ensure you’re on the right track:

    Licensure

    Home care agencies in Hawaii must be licensed to provide personal care or homemaker services, with certification options including Medicare/Medicaid or state-only licensing/certification, under the CMS QUEST demonstration waiver until 2024.

    Training is Mandatory

    Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) employed by agencies must complete the basic nurse-aide course from a state-approved program, covering 14 topics over 100 hours.

    Practice Scope

    PCAs provide non-medical ADL assistance, including bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, with training supervised by registered nurses or licensed practical nurses.

    Exempted Workers

    Workers employed directly by consumers under Medicaid or private-pay arrangements in Hawaii, including homemakers assisting with household chores and activities of daily living under the Med-QUEST managed care program, are exempt from state training requirements.
