Got a Question?

There is no formal state registry for most Personal Care Attendants, but agencies require documented training and competency verification.

Yes. Online caregiver training is especially important for Montana’s rural agencies and remote teams across Montana.

Training includes nutrition, safety procedures, personal care, infection control, communication skills, and caregiver boundaries.

Learn2Care provides mobile-first training designed for rural teams, helping agencies manage caregiver education and compliance from anywhere.

Caregiver training requirements in Montana vary by role and follow a role-based structure:

  • Personal Care Attendants (PCAs) must complete 16 hours of initial training, covering core topics such as personal care skills, safety, communication, documentation, nutrition, and client rights. They are also required to complete at least 8 hours of annual training.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) follow state-approved training programs (approximately 91+ hours) along with 12 hours of annual training, depending on the agency and care setting.
  • Private-Pay caregivers do not have fixed state-mandated training hours but must meet agency-defined training and competency requirements.
