The Oregon Home Care Commission (OHCC) supports an online care matching service, called Carina, to:
- Help people seeking in-home services find qualified homecare workers, personal support workers or personal care attendants.
- Help homecare workers, personal support workers or personal care attendants find work.
Getting started with Carina
Carina is an easy-to-use website where people looking for care can quickly and easily match with providers who met their needs. Carina can be used to find workers who provide routine, emergency and respite care.
Carina is an optional tool for providers and all Medicaid and Oregon Project Independence (OPI) consumers. Private pay consumers cannot use Carina to find a provider at this time.

Carina is an easy-to-use website where people looking for care can quickly and easily match with providers who meet their needs. Carina is an optional tool for all Medicaid and Oregon Project Independence (OPI) consumers. Carina partnered with the following to develop a tool to meet the needs of Medicaid and OPI consumers across Oregon:
- Oregon Department of Human Services
- Oregon Health Authority - Health Systems Division
- Oregon Home Care Commission
- Carewell SEIU 503
- SEIU Local 503
In 2017, the Oregon Home Care Commission (OHCC) submitted our Workforce Development Strategic Plan which recommended technological efficiency and innovation with regards to how in-home consumers and providers could connect with one another for consistent employment and vital service needs being met.
In the 2019 collective bargaining agreement between the OHCC and SEIU Local 503 it was agreed upon to implement an updated consumer and provider registry through partnership with Carewell SEIU 503. This collaborative effort led to Carina.
OHCC Registry
The OHCC Registry is an optional tool for community members who pay privately for help at home and for providers who work with private pay individuals.
Consumers who receive in-home services through Medicaid or OPI cannot use the OHCC Registry to find a provider.
If you are paying for services privately, or are a provider seeking private pay work, please visit the OHCC Registry.
