Got a Question?

Only CNAs are required to be certified in Indiana. Other caregivers must be trained and sometimes must be registered with the state. HHAs can be registered through the Indiana Department of Health standards. Non-medical caregivers need documented training and competency checks.

Yes. Online caregiver training is widely used for classroom instruction, onboarding, and annual in-service education.

Training commonly includes personal care, home sanitation, communication, nutrition, infection control, and safety procedures.

Learn2Care helps agencies deliver practical caregiver education, maintain digital training logs, and stay prepared for compliance reviews.

Caregiver training requirements in Indiana vary by role and are largely agency-driven and competency-based.

  • Personal Service Assistants follow agency-defined training and competency evaluation, with required documentation before performing tasks independently. Training is based on assigned duties, including specialized tasks like lift operation when applicable.
  • Private-Pay caregivers do not have fixed state-mandated training hours but must meet agency training and competency standards.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) follow structured training programs and have additional dementia training requirements, including:
    • 6 hours of initial dementia training within 60 days when caring for clients with dementia
    • 3 hours of annual dementia training thereafter
