Definitions: how West Virginia names home care

State license term
Home Health Agency (HHA)
Non-medical licensing
No state license for non-medical home care was found.
License types
  • HOME HEALTH AGENCY (HHA) - subtype MEDICARE (abbreviation HHA-18) (counted)
  • ADW Personal Attendant Agency / Medicaid Personal Care agency (counted)Per secondary sources (waiver.helpjuice.com, vitablehealth.com) Medicaid-funded personal attendant agencies are certified by the ADW operating agency, not licensed by OHFLAC. Not verified on an official page.
  • HOSPICE (not counted)
Notes
Secondary sources state WV does not license non-medical home care agencies but such providers must register with OHFLAC to use WV CARES / abuse registry background screening. No public list of these registrants was found on the OHFLAC facility search (its 'Legally Unlicensed' type W4 is 'LEGALLY UNLICENSED CARE HOMES', not in-home care).

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