Private Duty Home Care Certification
The National Alliance for Care at Home Private Duty Home Care Certification is the only national certification created by private duty leaders, exclusively for the private duty community. The certification offers providers the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to quality and service delivery excellence through formal certification.
Private Duty Home Care Certification requires each agency location to conduct a comprehensive examination relating to nineteen (19) separate but interrelated aspects of business and operations. Agency locations are required to submit documentation and an attestation statement showing adherence to all Certification program standards in each category to be reviewed by dedicated private duty home care staff at the National Alliance for Care at Home.
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
The standards of certification were developed by private duty home care industry leaders. Many of these leaders serve on the NAHC Private Duty Home Care Advisory Board, Advocacy Council, and The National Alliance for Care at Home Board of Directors. In addition, the NAHC Private Duty Home Care Certification Program has been modeled after elements within successful state certification programs in Massachusetts and California developed by The California Association for Health Services at Home and the Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts.
