Caregiver training requirements in Nebraska

Nebraska does not set a number of training hours for non-medical caregivers. No hour minimum is set. Each in-home personal services worker must be at least 18 and have training sufficient to provide the requisite level of in-home personal services offered.

How many hours of training are required?

What should you confirm with the state?

Nebraska has no license for non-medical home care; confirm with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services before you start operating. The law doesn't say whether background checks must be fingerprint-based. Medicaid and waiver programs have their own provider rules.

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.
