Got a Question?

Caregiver training requirements in Utah vary by home-based care roles and are primarily competency- and service-based:

  • Personal Care Aides (Private Pay – Home Care) must complete ongoing in-service training (minimum ~6 hours annually) and demonstrate competency in personal care, safety, ADLs/IADLs, and first aid.
  • Personal Care Aides (Public Pay – Waiver/Home Health) receive task-specific training in areas like personal care (bathing, toileting, grooming), medication assistance (reminders), nutrition, mobility, and home management, along with annual in-service training.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) follow separate structured training programs (typically 75 hours initial and 12 hours annual training).
  • Training must include competency validation and may involve first aid, safety, and reporting requirements.

Certification requirements in Utah depend on the caregiver role.

  • Personal Care Aides (Private Pay and public pay/home care) are not required to hold a state certification but must complete training and demonstrate competency for the tasks they perform.
  • Private Pay caregivers also follow agency-defined training and onboarding requirements without a certification mandate.
  • Home Health Aides (HHAs) follow formal training and competency programs, but certification is not universally required for all home care roles.

Yes, online caregiver training is commonly used for onboarding, annual education, and maintaining compliance records across agencies.
