By 2030, over 30 percent of Montana’s population will be over age 60, highlighting the growing demand for trained caregivers. However, recruiting and retaining an adequate caregiving workforce is challenging, partly due to rigorous state regulations and a disjointed training system. Here’s a concise overview to help you navigate these regulations effectively and find the best training solutions.
Training Oversight
Basic training for PCAs is supervised by a licensed nurse and includes input from staff and community resources to ensure interactive learning.
Documentation
Home care agencies are required to maintain attendance records and evaluation materials. Upon completion of training, each PCA receives a certificate signed by the nurse supervisor.
Competency Evaluation
PCA competency is evaluated during basic training using established criteria and methods, including written, performance, and oral testing, as well as instructor observations.
