Fingerprinting and Background Checks

All Registry Providers must undergo fingerprinting and background checks. The paperwork for this is given out at the orientations held at Link2Care.

You must take the paperwork given out at orientation to the Sheriff’s office in order to be fingerprinted. Bringing in prints that were done for another agency, or that you had done on your own will not be accepted. Please contact our office before paying unnecessarily to have your prints done somewhere else.

If a Provider has been convicted of Elder Abuse, Child Abuse or Fraud against a government entity, State law requires an automatic ten year exclusion from being an In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Provider. Link2Care, upon the recommendation of our In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Committee (IHSSAC) also has Additional Exclusions that would disqualify an individual from becoming an IHSS Provider.

Why We Conduct Fingerprinting and Background Investigations

One of our State mandates that arose out of AB 1682 was to investigate the qualifications of potential Providers. Link2Care Registry Providers must undergo a Department of Justice background investigation and complete a Livescan check (electronic fingerprint) to satisfy this mandate.

It is our duty to refer only those Providers who have undergone a thorough background check and received training to the IHSS Recipients in Stanislaus County. If you have questions please contact us via the email link below or by telephone at 558-4881.
