    CAREGIVER TRAINING REGULATIONS & FACTS

    Wisconsin’s Growing Demand for Qualified Caregivers

    Did you know?

    With Wisconsin’s 60 year and older population expected to increase to nearly 26 percent of the state’s population by 2030, the need for trained caregivers is growing. However, recruiting and retaining an adequate caregiving workforce proves challenging, partly due to rigorous state regulations and a disjointed training system. Here’s a brief overview to guide you through navigating these regulations effectively and equip you with the best training solution:

    Regulatory Compliance

    Personal care providers must ensure thorough documentation of compliance with 7 specific items outlined for personnel orientations.

    Experience Waivers

    Agencies can waive training requirements for personnel with relevant paid caregiving experience.

    Recommendation

    While agencies can waive training, Learn2Care highly recommends exceeding the minimum requirements. Offering annual, tailored training in the latest skills enhances caregiver proficiency, boosts confidence, and elevates client care quality. This investment yields significant returns, fostering smoother operations and heightened client satisfaction.

    The Best Care Begins with the Right Training

    While Wisconsin sets basic requirements for background checks, age, and health, it mandates only a few specific training topics. This gives agency administrators the flexibility to choose the training solutions that best align with their business goals. That flexibility offers a powerful opportunity: with targeted training in areas like Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and personal care, agencies can differentiate themselves, attract and retain top talent, and deliver consistent, high-quality care that goes beyond compliance.
