The HCAOA Member Code of Conduct is a framework for best practices for its home care member organizations that represents excellence in delivering high quality in-home services to clients of all ages. It is promoted and supported by HCAOA’s ongoing educational programming and advocacy efforts and reflects HCAOA’s guiding principles to serve clients in their homes. Once an agency attests to following the Code, a symbol is placed next to their name on the HCAOA’s Find a Provider site. 
 
Member agencies can sign the Home Care Association of America’s Code of Conduct and attest to their dedication to upholding the standards below:

  • Compliance with State and Federal Regulations
    Operates and furnishes services in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the health and safety of clients/patients.
  • Insurance Coverage

  • Service Agreement/Plan of Care
    Maintains a service agreement or a plan of care, when applicable, that is signed at the start of care by the client/designee and organization. It includes the agreed upon hours of service, cost and payment arrangements, client rights and complaint procedures, organization’s responsibilities, and contact information.
