California and local starting points

Verify records and program details at the source

Use the organization name, worker information and program involved in your situation. Official records are a starting point—not a ranking, guarantee or substitute for your own interviews and current written terms.

1. Get the exact legal name

Ask for the exact legal organization name and identifying information used in California records. Check the current state source. Then ask about supervision, worker screening, scheduling, complaints, insurance and how the service plan is documented. Never rely on a screenshot or an old result supplied by someone else.

2. Check the organization and aide records

Ask which record applies and use the current state guidance. Match the information carefully and ask the organization how it verifies workers before assignment. A matching record does not prove availability, experience with a specific situation or fit with your family.

3. Confirm the program serving your address

Use the State, County or City source that actually serves the address. The City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County are not the same jurisdiction. Ask the listed agency about current eligibility, boundaries, waiting periods and application steps.
