Clearinghouse Overview
Welcome to the Department of Elder Affairs (Department) Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse (Clearinghouse) site, dedicated to providing up-to-date Clearinghouse information.
The Department is one of seven state agencies that uses the statewide screening database Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse provides a single data source administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) for background screening results for persons screened for candidacy as an employee/independent contractor or volunteer that provides service to children, the elderly and disabled individuals. The Clearinghouse allows the results of criminal history checks to be shared among participating agencies, reducing duplication and costs. The Clearinghouse provides numerous benefits to our Area on Agencies on Aging, Lead Agencies, Local Services Providers, and Providers that contract directly or indirectly with the Department.
