Elevate your compliance with new dementia training requirements for Adult Day Care providers. Effective October 1, 2023, Adult Day Services providers are mandated to ensure that their Direct-Care Staff Members undergo essential dementia training as stipulated by Section 25.5-6-314, C.R.S.
For the initial training, each Adult Day Services provider is responsible for ensuring that all Direct-Care Staff Members receive training on dementia diseases and related disabilities. This training should be competency-based, culturally competent, and consist of a minimum of four (4) hours of instruction on dementia topics.
Continuing education : After completing the initial training, Direct-Care Staff Members must complete and document a minimum of two (2) hours of continuing education on dementia topics every two years.
Amity Healthcare Group, an International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) accredited provider, streamlines compliance with this mandate by offering tailored dementia training packages. Each course fulfills Colorado’s criteria for individuals providing care in adult day care settings. Please review IACET CEU requirements and policies.
Upon course completion, participants will receive a Dementia Training Certificate, verifying their adherence to state regulations. The participants will also be awarded Continued Education Units (CEUs).
There are several online training options available, including a 4-Hour Dementia Care Training Package and four 1-hour individual courses.
