Assisted Living Homes
Each administrator, each administrator designee who will serve in the capacity for 90 consecutive days or longer, and each care provider who is an employee of an assisted living home shall participate in continuing education that is relevant to that person’s primary job responsibilities and the ongoing care of residents. If courses for continuing education are not available within 100 miles of where the home is located or through correspondence or distance learning, the administrator shall ensure that the continuing education is obtained not less than every 18 months. Training requirements are as follows: each administrator shall complete 18 clock hours of continuing education annually. Each care provider shall complete 12 clock hours of continuing education annually. A home may count in-service training as continuing education if the training increases the knowledge, abilities, or skills of care providers and is approved by the licensing agency. Continuing education, whether in-service training or received form a state agency, a seminar, or a university, must be documented and placed in the employee’s personnel file for review and approval by the licensing agency.
