Nursing Homes are required to register as a TEAM and include a Key Contact Person. If you are a Stakeholder, you do not have to register as a team and special directions for you are included. PLEASE TYPE YOUR APPLICATION BELOW (if possible).

This course is designed for TEAMS to participate together; therefore, we recommend that a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 staff from the same nursing center are included in a team. ONLY ONE TEAM FROM EACH NURSING CENTER IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY. The ideal team will include the Medical Director, the Director of Nursing, the Administrator, other department supervisors, and the remainder direct care and other support staff. If possible, include other stakeholders such as a resident, family member, volunteer, or even your local ombudsman (LTCO) to participate with your team. (Be sure to talk with your LTCO before including them on the application.)

Each nursing center must have a CONTACT PERSON listed. The contact person can be one of the applicants who will be participating in the certification OR a staff member not participating. ALL APPLICANTS FROM EACH NURSING CENTER TEAM MUST BE LISTED ON THE SAME APPLICATION FORM INCLUDING THE CONTACT PERSON.

  1. DEADLINE for submission of applications is Tuesday, February 6, 2024 for the 11-week online certification/class.
