The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) requires that all Long-term Care Workers (LTCs) acquire the Home Care Aide (HCA) Certificate by undergoing a 75-hour basic training course. LTC workers are those who work in residential care settings such as assisted living facilities (ALF), adult family homes (AFH), and home-care agencies. They include caregivers and individual providers (IPs).
The HCA Training Certificate must be completed 120 days after hire. You must submit proof of completion with your HCA Application to take the WA State HCA Certification Examination
