No state license for non-medical home care was found.
License types
  • Home Health Agency (HHA) (counted)DOH definition: skilled nursing plus at least one other therapeutic service (PT, SLP, OT, medical social services, or home health aide). Secondary sources state SD does not require a separate state license for certified HHAs; not confirmed on the DOH page.
  • Medicaid HCBS in-home services provider (counted)Per secondary sources, providers enroll with SD Medicaid / Department of Human Services; not researched on official pages.
Notes
Official DOH HHA page: non-medical home health providers 'are NOT regulated by the South Dakota Department of Health.' A secondary source (vitablehealth.com) states HB 1138 (2026), which would have required non-medical home care licensure, was vetoed on March 25, 2026; not verified on an official source.

Terminology varies by state. HomeCareIntent uses each state's own term on its pages and maps it to a common category. Glossary
