Dementia Training Approval: ANNUAL IN-SERVICE APPLICATION
Introduction/Overview
Please complete this IN-SERVICE Application for your annual dementia in-service training to be reviewed for approval by LeadingAge Oregon.
Beginning January 1, 2019, OAR 411-054-0070 requires that all direct care staff complete six hours of annual training on dementia care by the anniversary of their hire date in 2020. The training must reflect current standards for dementia care and be informed by the best evidence in the care and treatment of dementia.
The six hours of annual dementia care training may be included in the required minimum of 12 hours in-service training required for direct care staff within ALFs/RCFs.
If approved, the annual in-service training does not have to be submitted annually for approval. If the approved training is changed or added to, then it would need to be submitted for approval.
