LMS for home health and home care agencies
EducateMe is the AI-native LMS where your agency trains its caregivers. AI turns your policies into courses and lets aides practice client conversations. They train on their phone, and every completion is recorded.
What makes home care training hard
Your team is on the road, and the records are in a binder.
Your policies become courses your caregivers can finish on a phone. Then they practice the hard visit before it happens.
Orientation before the first visit, in-service all year
Tag a new caregiver with her role and branch, and her orientation plan is waiting on her phone. Courses that repeat every year restart on their due date, and she gets a reminder first. There is no app to install.
What training do home health aides need each year?
If your agency bills Medicare, each home health or hospice aide needs at least 12 hours of in-service every 12 months. HIPAA, bloodborne pathogens, infection control, and emergency preparedness come on top. Non-medical home care follows your state's rules, so check your state agency.
| Training | Who takes it | How often | Rule behind it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aide in-service | Home health aides | At least 12 hours every 12 months | CMS, 42 CFR 484.80 |
| Hospice aide in-service | Hospice aides | At least 12 hours every 12 months | CMS, 42 CFR 418.76 |
| HIPAA privacy and security | Everyone who can see client information | At hire and when your policies change | HHS, 45 CFR 164.530 |
| Bloodborne pathogens | Anyone who may touch blood or body fluids | At first assignment, then every year | OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.1030 |
| Infection control | Everyone who visits clients | On the schedule your agency sets | CMS, 42 CFR 484.70 |
| Emergency preparedness | Everyone at the agency | At hire and on your emergency plan's schedule | CMS, 42 CFR 484.102 |

Home care LMS comparison: EducateMe vs Relias vs CareAcademy
Is EducateMe the right LMS for your home care agency?
EducateMe fits agencies that run their own orientation and in-service from their own policies. It is not the right LMS if you want to buy state-approved courses or in-service hours from a catalog. The two lists below give the detail.
A good fit
- Home health, home care, and hospice agencies with their own policies
- Agencies with caregivers across several branches or counties
- Agencies that want new courses live in days, not months
Not the right fit
- You want state-approved caregiver courses ready on day one
- Caregivers must finish training offline, with no signal
- You need a native app from the app store
Pricing starts from $239 a month. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial. See what each plan includes on the pricing page.

A home care LMS, or home care learning management system, is training software that assigns, tracks, and records the training caregivers need. EducateMe's LMS for home health and home care agencies works in a phone browser, so caregivers train between visits. AI turns your policies into courses, and every completion stays on record. It does not include state-approved caregiver courses.
The best alternative to Relias for home care depends on where your courses come from. If you want a ready-made caregiver library, CareAcademy sells one. If you train from your own policies, EducateMe turns them into courses with AI, lets aides practice client conversations, and tracks every completion by branch. Both show a starting price on their websites.
EducateMe does not include state-approved caregiver courses or in-service hours. You build orientation and in-service courses from your own policies, and the AI Assistant drafts them from the documents you upload. Videos and PDFs you already use can be added too. If your state requires hours from an approved provider, keep that provider and record the rest here.
Caregivers complete EducateMe training in their phone's web browser, with nothing to install. Lessons, videos, quizzes, and AI practice all work on a phone between visits. There is no native app and no offline mode, so a caregiver needs a signal to finish a course.
Every completion in EducateMe is recorded with the learner, the course, and the date, and a certificate is issued when she finishes. You can see each caregiver's record by branch and export it as a file. Courses that repeat every year restart on their due date, so the next cycle is tracked too.
EducateMe pricing starts from $239 a month, and every plan comes with a 14-day free trial. The starting price covers a set number of learners, and the pricing page shows how many. CareAcademy also shows its price on its website, while Relias gives a quote through its sales team.
