It is important to note that the specific designations and requirements for home and health care workers in Michigan may vary depending on the type of services being provided, the setting in which those services are provided, and other factors. Some home and health care agencies may require additional training or certifications beyond the minimum state requirements, depending on the specific services they provide and the needs of their clients.
Therefore, it’s important for home and health care providers and agencies to check with their employer or a Michigan-approved training program to determine any additional training requirements that may apply to their job.
