This course spans over eight 10-hour days. The day begins at 8am and ends at 6:30pm. The purpose of this 80 hour initial certification course is to familiarize the learner with start-up and operational regulations for an RCFE. The learner will...

√ Become familiar with the psychosocial needs of the residents living in a RCFE and understand their individual needs.

√ Engage in interactive experiences focused on the regulatory requirements specific to a RCFE

√ Understand how to create a positive environment for those living in a RCFE with focus on those living with Dementia.

This course is required to enable the participant to request to take the state exam to become a Residential Care Facility Administrator for the Elderly.

Please note, a digital version of the RCFE Manual of Policies and Procedures will be emailed to each course participant. We do highly suggest getting the hard copy version so you will have it in-person when you take the assessment.   Manuals can be purchased online from us to be sent to your mailing address.
