Indiana Home Health Agencies: Is Your Team Ready for the July 2026 Compliance Deadline?
New Indiana Department of Health requirements take effect July 1, 2026, mandating current CPR/BLS certification for all home health staff with direct patient contact. Non-compliance risks agency licensing.
What Changes on July 1, 2026
The Indiana Department of Health has strengthened requirements for home health agencies operating in the state. Every staff member with direct patient contact—nurses, aides, therapists, and support staff—must hold a current BLS or CPR/AED certification.
Enforcement begins on the effective date. Agencies found out of compliance face licensing action, and staff without current cards will be pulled from patient-facing assignments.
Who Needs Certification
- Registered nurses and LPNs
- Home health aides & CNAs
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapists
- Any staff who enters the patient's home on assignment
