Licensing for Georgia Home Care Agencies
Georgia requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the Private Home Care Provider license, issued by Georgia Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division. Ask any agency for its license number and look it up before the first visit.
Agencies that employ caregivers carry the payroll and injury coverage; hiring privately shifts that to your family.
