2-Day Compliance Made Simple: Mastering Home Care Regulations & Risk Management

About this event

COMPLIANCE MADE SIMPLE

Two Days. Two Critical Areas of Compliance. One Stronger Home Care Agency.

Protect Your License. Protect Your Business.

December 9–10, 2026 | San Diego, California

Protect Your Agency. Reduce Your Risk. Lead with Confidence.

Operating a non-medical home care agency in California means navigating two complex areas of regulatory responsibility: California Department of Social Services (CDSS) licensing requirements and state and federal employment and labor laws.

Missing caregiver documentation, incomplete training records, Guardian background check errors, or other licensing deficiencies can put your agency at risk of CDSS citations and penalties.

At the same time, a missed meal period, inaccurate wage statement, improper overtime calculation, or employee classification mistake can expose your agency to costly wage claims and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) litigation.

Are your agency's compliance systems strong enough to withstand scrutiny from both CDSS and employment law enforcement agencies?

That's why Home Care Resource created Compliance Made Simple — a comprehensive, hands-on, 2-Day training experience designed specifically for California's non-medical home care industry.

We dedicate Day 1 to CDSS licensing and operational compliance , including Guardian, caregiver documentation, training requirements, and inspection readiness. Day 2 focuses on state and federal employment laws , with special attention to wage-and-hour compliance, payroll practices, and reducing exposure to Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims.

You'll gain practical knowledge, proven systems, and valuable tools to help protect your agency, your employees, and the clients you serve.

TWO DAYS. TWO ESSENTIAL COMPLIANCE PRIORITIES.

DAY 1 — Wednesday, December 9

CDSS Licensing & Operational Compliance

Guardian, Caregiver Records, Training Requirements & Inspection Readiness

Your Home Care Organization license is the foundation of your business. Maintaining it requires accurate documentation, consistent oversight, and systems that keep your agency ready for California Department of Social Services (CDSS) review.

What You'll Learn:

• ✅ CDSS Inspection Readiness: Understand key licensing requirements, common deficiencies, and how to prepare for Home Care Services Bureau inspections.

• ✅ Guardian Background Check System: Strengthen your understanding of background clearances, affiliations, exemptions, and ongoing roster management.

• ✅ Home Care Aide Personnel Records: Organize employee files, TB documentation, registrations, and required records to support compliance.

• ✅ Training & Documentation Requirements: Track initial and annual caregiver training, required verifications, and documentation deadlines.

• ✅ Compliance Management Systems: Develop a living compliance calendar, establish internal monitoring procedures, and identify problems before they become citations.

Day 1 Goal: Create reliable operational systems that support continued licensing compliance and year-round inspection readiness.

DAY 2 — Thursday, December 10

Employment & Labor Law Compliance

Understanding PAGA, Wage & Hour Laws, and Employer Responsibilities

California's employment laws create significant financial exposure for home care agencies. Even unintentional violations can result in employee claims, penalties, and costly litigation.

Learn how to identify common compliance vulnerabilities and strengthen your agency's employment practices.

What You'll Learn:

• ✅ PAGA Risk Prevention: Understand the Private Attorneys General Act, common violations that trigger claims, and proactive strategies to reduce your agency's exposure.

• ✅ Wage & Hour Compliance: Navigate California overtime requirements, meal and rest periods, travel time, mileage reimbursement, and compensable work hours.

• ✅ Payroll & Employee Records: Identify wage statement errors, timekeeping deficiencies, final pay obligations, and recordkeeping practices that can create PAGA liability.

• ✅ State & Federal Labor Laws: Understand employee classification, AB 5, required employment notices, paid sick leave, workplace safety obligations, and other employer responsibilities affecting home care agencies.

• ✅ Employment Compliance Self-Audits: Learn how to recognize potential violations, implement corrective measures, and establish ongoing compliance monitoring.

Day 2 Goal: Build stronger employment practices, reduce preventable wage-and-hour violations, and better protect your agency against PAGA-related exposure.

MORE THAN TRAINING — TAKE HOME THE TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT IT.

Your Compliance Toolkit Bundle

Every participant receives practical compliance resources designed for use in a California Home Care Organization, including:

• Personnel file and documentation checklists

• Guardian tracking and verification resources

• Caregiver training and TB compliance logs

• Employment compliance self-audit tools

• Wage-and-hour and PAGA risk review checklists

• Compliance calendars, templates, and inspection preparation resources

You'll leave with more than information. You'll have a practical roadmap for strengthening compliance throughout your agency.

WHY ATTEND?

Because the cost of preventing a compliance problem is often far less than the cost of correcting one.

California home care agencies face regulatory oversight from multiple government agencies, each with different requirements, enforcement processes, and potential penalties.

Whether you are a new agency owner establishing your foundation or an experienced operator seeking to strengthen existing systems, this training will help you:

• Identify compliance gaps before they become costly problems.

• Understand how employment law violations can create PAGA exposure.

• Prepare your organization for CDSS inspections and ongoing oversight.

• Establish greater accountability within your administrative team.

• Replace reactive compliance practices with organized, repeatable systems.

Compliance is not a one-time project. It's an ongoing responsibility — and a critical part of protecting your business.
