Key Differences between Adult care permits

  • Medical vs. Non-Medical Services: The HHA license allows for the provision of medical services by licensed professionals, while the HCS license is limited to non-medical services, and the Adult Daycare license allows for non-medical and minimal medical care in a daycare setting.
  • Location of Services: HHA services are provided in the client’s home, HCS services are also home-based but non-medical, and Adult Daycare services are provided in a designated daycare facility.
  • Staff Qualifications: HHA requires licensed healthcare professionals, HCS does not require medical professionals but does require background checks, and Adult Daycare requires trained staff in emergency care but not licensed medical professionals.

For more information and detailed requirements, you can refer to the official guidelines and regulations provided by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).
