This curriculum consists of six one-hour in-service training sessions for facility-based Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) in California. The goal is to help CNAs provide better care for residents in long-term care facilities, by achieving the following objectives:
  1. To develop core competencies of communications and problem-solving skills for CNAs, and provide them with concrete tools to respond to resident's needs and preferences.
  2. To assist CNAs and their employers to comply with 2009 state surveyor interpretive guidelines from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for "resident-centered" practices.
  3. To help to address key areas of residents' concern, as suggested by resident complaint surveys and further refined by resident and staff interviews.
