    CAREGIVER TRAINING REGULATIONS & FACTS

    Rhode Island’s Growing Demand for Qualified Caregivers

    Did you know?

    With Rhode Island’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:

    Licensure

    Employment as a nursing assistant or medication aide in Rhode Island requires holding a valid nursing assistant license.

    Supervision

    Nursing assistants must be supervised by a licensed nurse, physician, or other appropriate health professional that meets the experience requirements set out by the state.

    Training Approval

    The State Department of Health approves training programs based on compliance with eight required areas, with approval granted for two years.

    The Best Care Begins with the Right Training

    While Rhode Island 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.
