Licensing for Kansas Home Care Agencies
Kansas requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the Home Health Agency license (covers non-medical supportive care services), issued by Kansas Department of Health and Environment. 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.
