Meet the Agency

They are a non-medical personal care agency — not a medical home health agency. Caregivers help with everyday things like bathing, meals, and company. They don't give shots, change wound dressings, or do anything a nurse would do.

Licensing in California

In California, home care agencies are regulated by the California Department of Social Services. Every agency needs a Home Care Organization (HCO) Registration to operate. Caregivers also have to register with the state's Home Care Aide Registry.
