Home Health Aide (HHA) Registration Program

The IDOH Home Health Aide Registration Program administers the Aides Registry and ensures that home health aides meet the qualifications for a home health aide and are appropriately registered on the Aides Registry.

A home health aide is a person working for a home health agency or hospice that performs home health services ordered by a licensed physician, licensed chiropractor, licensed podiatrist, or licensed optometrist.

The home health aide must successfully complete a home health agency's training and competency evaluation. Home health agencies and hospices are responsible for establishing their own policies on qualifications and needed training. IDOH does not certify or approve training sites or the syllabus of each individual agency or organization under contract to provide home health aide training services. Agencies and organizations providing home health aide training should do so in accordance with the federal regulations and state rules linked below.
