November is Natl Home Care and Hospice Month

California Association for Health Services at Home:

"November is National Home Care & Hospice Month

Celebrate the Heroes of Home Care
Each November, the California Association for Health Services at Home (CAHSAH) along with the entire home care industry throughout the country celebrates National Home Care and Hospice Month to honor care giving heroes who make a remarkable difference in the lives of patients and the families they serve. It is an important opportunity to recognize the health care administrators, nurses, clinicians, therapists, aides, homemakers, chore workers, companions and other home care professionals who assist some of our most frail citizens and help them to remain at home and in the community.
“During National Home Care and Hospice month, we take time to honor the thousands of individuals in home care and hospice who, on a daily basis, provide remarkable care in people’s homes. Thank you for all that you do.” - - - CAHSAH President Joe Hafkenschiel"

Don't Get Caught Without A California HMDR Exemptee

Updated June 10, 2026
We've added something new, closed captioning. Students can read what the course instructor is teaching. This feature helps ESL (English as a second language) students, and hard of hearing students. 

Avoid jeopardizing your business.

  • Don't get caught without a California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Home Medical Device Retailer (HMDR) Exemptee.
  • It's a wise investment to have more than just one Exemptee, so that you have additional Exemptees for backup and cross-covering.
  • The cost of training another Exemptee is very reasonable, in contrast to having to close down the business.
Here's a free tip:
One of many minimum qualifications to become a California HMDR Exemptee is work experience. Applicants must have one or more years paid experience. Training must have been supervised by a licensed exemptee, Pharmacist-In-Charge or equivalent. No exceptions!
