About us

We built the system we needed when we ran an agency

Certify245D and CareCertify come from twenty years of running a Minnesota home care agency — and from an agency that still runs on them today.

Our story

Twenty years on the other side of the licensing review

Before this was software, it was our job. We ran a Minnesota PCA and 245D agency for two decades: hiring caregivers, keeping training current, building client files, making payroll and sitting across the table from licensors.

We used the binders, the spreadsheets and the separate training and payroll vendors. We saw how much of a coordinator's week went to re-typing the same information into different places — and how often a missed date, not bad care, was what showed up in a correction order.

So we built CareCertify for training, then Certify245D for everything else, and now payroll — each piece sharing one record, each rule cited to the statute it comes from. It's used every day in a working Minnesota 245D agency.

What we believe

How we build

⚖️

Cite the rule

Every requirement in the system points back to the statute behind it. If we can't cite it, we don't make you do it — and if the law requires it, we don't let it slide.

📄

Absent or complete

A signed blank form is worse than a missing one, because it claims something happened. Our documents are either complete or not generated.

🤝

Your agency, your records

Documents live in your Drive under your name. Training records belong to the caregiver. We're the system, not the owner.

The company

Certify245D, CareCertify and 245DCompliance.com are names of CareCertify LLC, a Minnesota company. Serving agencies statewide — remote and in person.
