State Licensed Home Care Providers (HCP)

The Home Care Licensure within the Health Regulation Division of the Minnesota Department of Health oversees and regulates licensed home care agencies in Minnesota. These activities include:

• Licensure and registration
• On-site surveys and enforcement
• Communication with providers and the public on the issues of state home care laws and regulation

Our mission is to protect maintain and improve the health of Minnesotans who receive state home care services.

In 2013, the Minnesota Legislature passed new laws, which strengthened MDH’s ability to regulate state home care providers to better protect Minnesotans who use state home care services. State home care providers must hold either a comprehensive home care license or a basic home care license. The license a provider holds is based on the types of services they provide. See the services that are allowed under each license:
