Caregiver training requirements in Indiana

Indiana does not set a number of training hours for non-medical caregivers. No minimum hours are set. The agency must evaluate each worker's competency for every attendant care task before the worker does that task without direct supervision, train and reevaluate where needed, and document the training. Lift training is required where clients use lifts.

How many hours of training are required?

What should you confirm with the state?

A name-based expanded check is accepted instead of a fingerprint-based national check. Workers must also have a TB test. Agencies serving Medicaid waiver clients enroll separately with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.

Is training time paid?

Yes. Required training for caregivers you employ is hours worked, so it is paid and counts toward overtime. Add training hours to each caregiver's weekly total with the overtime calculator and track them on the schedule template.
