Promoting Higher Standards in Long Term Care
Families rely on nursing home and homecare workers to take care of their loved ones. Yet, most long term care workers in America receive poverty-level wages and little training or health coverage — conditions that force nearly 100 percent turnover. And nine out of ten nursing homes in America don't have enough staff to provide adequate care to residents, according to a study by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.

Improving Lives
The Homecare Workers Training Center helps to stabilize the caregiving industry to meet the rapidly growing public need for personal assistance. Through our pioneering efforts to develop a free healthcare career ladder for underprivileged communities, we are improving the lives of California’s low-wage caregivers, seniors and persons with disabilities.

Partnering to Fill California’s Quality Care Needs We partner with nursing home employers to identify job placement opportunities for CNA and LVN graduates to help maintain adequate staffing levels at facilities throughout California.

Comprehensive training for nursing home workers.

Good caregiver careers, with benefits and wages that help attract and keep qualified providers.

We work in coalition with community groups to improve recruitment and retention of long term care workers.

Lifting Communities Out of Poverty
Homecare workers enable their patients to maintain a sense of dignity and independence. Unfortunately, their salaries are too low to confer the same dignity and independence upon them. The Homecare Workers Training Center provides the first step in real world career advancement -- education.

Case Management
The Training Center’s project coordinators help participants overcome individual barriers, provide on-going motivation and support, and are knowledgeable about outside agencies that can provide additional supportive services when necessary.

Building Confidence and Success
Beyond the medical skills and the tools for professional advancement, program participants gain a real sense of confidence and accomplishment through their participation in the program. For many of our students, the certificate of completion is their first diploma. For them, completing the training builds self confidence, job skills and interest in continuing education.

Job Readiness and Placement
The Training Center offers job readiness skills-building workshops, including:

Resume writing
Interviewing skills
Effective communication

Computers are available, and our staff provides individual assistance to students. The Training Center works with various agencies to place program graduates in jobs.
