OAR 333-540-0005: Purpose and Scope

(1) These rules establish minimum standards for the operation and licensure of caregiver registries. (2) A caregiver registry may provide services in addition to establishing and maintaining a list of qualified private contractor caregivers, but these rules do not govern those additional services. (3) A caregiver registry may be subject to additional licensure requirements if it qualifies as an in-home care agency, home health agency, or referral agency as defined in ORS 443.005 and 443.305. (4) A caregiver registry may not employ or compensate, directly or indirectly, caregivers placed on its list, schedule caregivers although they may maintain calendars that track caregiver availability and for referral fee purposes, assign a caregiver to a client, define working conditions, or negotiate for a caregiver or client for the provision of services.
