With Pennsylvania’s 60 year and older population expected to reach 27.5 percent 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:
Compliance
Before assigning a direct care worker, agencies must ensure compliance via a valid nurse’s license, competency evaluation, or completion of recognized training programs.
Subject Areas
Competency examinations are required to comprehensively cover 16 essential subject areas, including confidentiality and consumer control.
Documentation
Agencies must document direct care workers’ completion of competency requirements, including annual reviews via observation, testing, training, or consumer feedback.
