Caregiver Misconduct Reporting Requirements
Back to Wisconsin Feeding
Assistant Program - Introduction
Wisconsin’s Caregiver Law, implemented in October 1998, requires all
DQA-regulated
entities to report allegations of misconduct (abuse or neglect of a
client, or misappropriation of a client’s property) regarding any
caregiver:
- who is an employee of or contractor with the facility and
- who has regular, direct contact with clients.
Feeding assistants meet Wisconsin’s definition of a caregiver and
allegations involving a feeding assistant are subject to the caregiver
misconduct reporting requirements.
See Chapter 6 of the Wisconsin
Caregiver Program Manual for information on reporting employee
misconduct.
The name of any noncredentialed caregiver (including a feeding
assistant), with a substantiated finding of misconduct will be entered on
the Wisconsin Caregiver Misconduct Registry.
