California Caregiver Laws

The California Home Care Services Consumer Protection Act now provides the guidelines for senior caregivers in the state of California. This new mandate, created by the California Assembly Bill 1217, was passed by the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Brown after a long process that included satisfying both the public Medicaid care requirements and private-duty home care.

This California caregiver training law mandates several requirements for senior care companies to be licensed and to both train and conduct background checks on caregivers who now must be added to the state’s caregiver registry.

Learn about the California caregiver training law, including hours of training required for the first year and following years with Caregiverlist, the industry leader in providing digital tools for caregivers. As more caregivers are needed, you may take online training to meet the state’s requirements and submit a caregiver and C.N.A. job application to be considered for open caregiving job positions in your area.
