What are the training requirements for those planning to work in assisted living facilities?

Question

Are there any additional training requirements for nursing assistants planning to work in assisted living facilities, such as CPR, First Aid, etc?

Answer 1

Nurse aide programs have different admission requirements depending on the school or facility which provides the training. Some CNA programs teach CPR as part of their curriculum while others require students to possess CPR training prior to enrolling into the course. Check with the school or facility where you plan to attend and find out what their particular policies are. Assisted living facilities also have different requirements so it is best to check with them and find out if they require additional training.
