About the ReportThe establishment of a multi-tiered educational pathway
for geriatric home caregivers would support efforts to
meet the needs of an increasing number of community
dwelling older adults who require assistance with activities
of daily living, while generating a cadre of qualified
employees for an expanding non-medical private home
care market. An educational pathway for geriatric
home caregivers would also standardize the training
of home care assistants while providing these individuals
access to routine, high quality continuing education
opportunities and the potential for career advancement. This issue brief provides two model educational pathways toward becoming a Geriatric Home Caregiver.
