The National Association of Health Care Assistants (NAHCA) mission is to build strong alliances that maximize success and boost quality resident care.
The collaboration between NAHCA and the Quality Care Health Foundation (QCHF) does this by giving senior living centers the tools and content they need to educate and empower CNAs within the state.
By combining efforts, these two organizations are working to address their members' biggest challenge: Workforce.
What You Get:
Informative & Educational Webinars: NAHCA hosts webinars aimed at the following audiences:
- CNAs: An educational and motivational webinar for CNAs that is designed to help CNAs gain a better understanding of such topics as:
- Infection Control
- The importance of self-care
- Person-centered care.
- Providers (administrators/management): Designed to help your centers' leadership address workforce pressure points such as workforce recruitment and retention.
- CNA CareForce Academy: NAHCA and QCHF have created a CareForce Academy that serves as a CNA "future leader" initiative. This program enables each center to nominate CNAs to participate in a yearlong endeavor that includes enrollment in the NAHCA Preceptor Training, leadership mentoring, and much more.
