Minnesota Statute 144A. 4796, subd. 1 states:

"All staff providing and supervising direct home care services must complete an orientation to home care licensing requirements and regulations before providing home care services. The orientation may be incorporated into the training required under subdivision 6. The orientation need only be completed once for each staff person and is not transferable to another home care provider."

This guide was prepared by the Minnesota HomeCare Association to supplement this requirement. It is intended as an overview and not a replacement of the licensure statutes.” There are additional orientation requirements specific to your agency/facility that must be completed during orientation. Providers should refer to the Minnesota Home Care Licensure Statute 144A.43 – 144A.483, Chapter 144D Housing with Services Establishment, Chapter 144G Assisted Living Services, Chapter 245D Home and Community-Based Services Standards, the Vulnerable Adults Act Minnesota Statute 626.557 and 626.5572 and the Maltreatment of Minors Act, Minnesota Statute 626.556 for specific requirements.
