Got a Question?

Caregiver training requirements in New Hampshire vary by role and are focused on home-based care services:

  • Direct Care Staff (Personal Care Providers) must complete at least 8 hours of initial training before assisting with tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and feeding. Training includes communication, safety, ADLs, nutrition, documentation, and use of assistive devices.
  • Homemakers receive task-specific training based on services such as housekeeping, meal preparation, shopping, and maintaining a safe home environment.
  • Dementia care training is required for staff supporting clients with Alzheimer’s or related conditions, including initial and ongoing annual training.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) follow separate state-approved training programs (typically 100+ initial hours and annual training).

Yes. Online training can be used in New Hampshire for home-based caregiver roles, but it must align with agency policies and competency requirements.

  • Direct Care Staff and Personal Care Providers may complete portions of training online, especially for topics like communication, safety, infection control, and documentation.
  • Homemakers and non-medical caregivers can use online training for onboarding and ongoing education, depending on the services provided.
  • Dementia training and annual education may also be delivered online, if agencies ensure staff can demonstrate competency for assigned tasks.

Yes, for LNAs. They must be licensed through the Board of Nursing, while non-medical caregivers require documented agency training. Other types of caregivers in New Hampshire are not required to be certified though certification will exempt them from additional initial training.

Training covers personal care, communication, infection control, safety procedures, and dementia care.

Learn2Care helps agencies deliver continuing education, maintain compliance records, and support caregiver readiness with flexible mobile training.
