Staff Requirements, Senior Home Care, and Senior Assisted Living

The regulation of in-home senior care providers, senior assisted living facilities and memory care living facilities in the state of Florida is the responsibility of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. This state agency regulates the ownership of senior assisted living facilities and sets training standards for the administrators and staff in senior assisted living, memory care living and similar settings.

Each administrator and staff worker in a senior assisted living or memory care living facility must meet the Staff Training Requirements and Competency Testing Requirements of the Department of Elder Affairs. Recruiting the people to administer and staff these facilities is a huge challenge.  Good senior assisted living facilities must have sufficient numbers of able staff to care for their residents and well-trained administrators to manage them.

As our senior population grows, there will also be an increasing need for nurses, nursing assistants, and paramedical professionals to provide the in-home senior care needed by our loved ones. Where are all these trained people going to come from? Providing the needed training for staff and administrators is a vital task.
