Licensing for Maryland Home Care Agencies
Maryland requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the Residential Service Agency (RSA) license, issued by Maryland Office of Health Care Quality. Ask any agency for its license number and look it up before the first visit.
An agency that employs its caregivers handles payroll taxes and workers’ comp. A private hire leaves those duties with the family.
Maryland Programs That Help With In-Home Care

Aid & Attendance
