Working as an independent caregiver in Tennessee
Tennessee has no state minimum wage law, so the federal $7.25 an hour applies, and federal overtime rules cover most directly hired caregivers unless the work is exempt companionship. Certified nursing assistants are listed on the state nurse aide registry kept by the Tennessee Health Facilities Commission. TennCare's CHOICES program can pay for care at home, and under its Consumer Direction option the person receiving care can hire their own workers. Each town page links to the official sources.
