Home Caregiver Program

We are putting C.A.R.E. into Caregiving with Community Affordable and Relevant Education and addressing the need for more qualified direct care health workers. Beginning this Spring, we will offer free courses in a variety of formats to help individuals become certified direct care workers. This 7-hr course is available at no cost to employees of local businesses and to individuals who are providing direct non-medical care to loved ones at home. Course completion also includes multiple incentives to attain your certification and two free optional training courses.
