When you hire a provider through the Public Authority Registry, you know that the person has been pre-screened with your safety and needs in mind. Prior to sending you a list of provider, the Registry requires all providers to successfully complete several steps designed to ensure safety and competence. Each provider must:
- Pass a State Department of Justice (DOJ) criminal background check
- Pass reference checks completed by Public Authority staff
- Complete a Registry Review designed to help them learn about the Public Authority and IHSS programs and the Do’s and Don’ts
- Complete a CPR/First Aid class (if classes are available)
- Providers are required to complete the new IHSS Enrollment process, which includes registering for BOUNDS system to complete an IHSS Orientation.
These steps are required for all Registry Providers and are important safeguards for you.
