Working as an independent caregiver in California
California's Home Care Services Consumer Protection Act requires caregivers who work through a licensed Home Care Organization to be listed on the state Home Care Aide Registry. Caregivers hired directly by a family are not required to register, although they may do so voluntarily. In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) providers enrol separately through their county. Each city page links to the official sources, and our California caregiver requirements guide explains the three systems side by side.
