Licensee and Applicant trainings

We strive to improve regulatory compliance by creating opportunities for education and consultation, and to provide efficient, effective, and timely services to all. The Adult Foster Care Division created a Provider Training YouTube Channel where providers can find free resources and training videos related to codes, rules, acts, and "best practices". Many of the videos come with quizzes, which are located in the information box below the videos. Training topics include, Prevention and Containment of Communicable Diseases, Nutrition and Food Services, Resident Care, Supervision and Protection, Medication Management in Group Homes, Fire Safety and Evacuation Plans, Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias, and much, much more!
