What a California Home Care Organization license means
Since 2016, California requires a Home Care Organization (HCO) license from the Department of Social Services for agencies that employ caregivers to give non-medical help at home. Caregivers must be listed on the state's Home Care Aide Registry, with a background check and training. The license does not rate quality or price. Ask for rates, minimum hours and whether the agency, not the family, is the caregiver's employer.
Confirm the license yourself. Search the license number above in the state's lookup (Texas TULIP or California Care Facility Search). Then ask about rates, minimum hours, caregiver screening and who employs the caregivers.
