With Missouri’s older adult population expected to surpass 25% of the state’s current 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:
Proficiency
Within the first 30 days of employment, caregivers must demonstrate proficiency in six tasks outlined by state regulations.
Supervision
This assessment must be conducted by a nurse, supervisor, or experienced aide employed by the agency for at least six months
Training Breakdown
After the initial 12 months, caregivers need to complete 10 hours of annual in-service training. Of these, at least 6 hours must be through classroom instruction, with the remaining 4 hours adaptable to other training methods.
