To my knowledge there is currently no avenue offered to report unlicensed home care aides, also referred to as Personal Care aides (PCA) or Nurse Aides (NAs) that have never tested with the Board of Nursing or other state goverened reporting agency.

OLC require agencies to have a policy for reporting licensed employees, however, home care employees delivering unskilled home care support/companion/custodial services are not required to be state licensed and there should not be such requirement.  Should a PCA commit a reportable offense that would be reportable if they were otherwise licensed, who should oversee this level of home care companion reporting?

Thank you
