About the ReportIn this Caregiving Brief, we highlight the caregiver training program developed by Kapi’olani Community
College, winner of a 2008 grant under the Community College Caregiver Training Initiative. Kapi’olani has adopted a curriculum based upon that
developed by the Schmieding Center for Senior Health
and Education. Three tiers of training are being offered,
each building upon the preceding level, for a total of
100 hours of training. The aging population, great preference for in-home services
among those who need care, and the needs of family
caregivers all factored into the design of the Caregiving Training Initiative—the
programs developed by Kapi’olani and the other participating
community colleges address these concerns in a variety
of ways. The 24 winning community colleges have implemented
a variety of innovative practices, serve a diverse
group of students, and offer a wide variety of content,
hours of training, and method of training. Expansion of
caregiver training programs such as the one developed
by Kapi’olani Community College will help society
answer this challenge.
