PCAs

All of our PCAs, also known as Caregivers, are employees of Avanna Health and are bonded and insured.
Unlike some home health care agencies, we do not use outside contractors to provide our services. We use in-house staff because doing so provides far greater quality control.
We also use our own employees as additional protection for you because we thoroughly screen our PCAs to ensure they meet our high standards.
The State of Minnesota goes to great lengths to ensure the protection of all workers within the state through strict requirements and regulations. We take great precautions to protect our clients from any violations of these requirements and regulations.

In addition:

• Avanna Health complies with the State of Minnesota’s Industrial Welfare Commission’s Order, which strictly regulates the wages, hours and working conditions of household occupations.
• Avanna Health provides all Minnesota Worker’s Compensation insurance to cover work related injuries for caregivers in your home.
• Avanna Health provides unemployment insurance for our caregivers to protect our clients from being charged with back fees in the event a caregiver were to file for unemployment
• Avanna Health Care withholds and pays the employer portion of all federal, state and local taxes, as well as files all of the relevant paperwork.
