AALI/St. Joseph's College Training Curriculum for Professional Healthcare Providers

For the past two and a half years, alzheimer's association long island has been working to develop a NYS Certified Training curriculum for professional healthcare providers. During this timeframe, the NYS Legislature saw the need to develop guidelines for Adult Care Facilities and Assisted Living Residences and passed this legislative initiative in 2004. As a result of this legislative initiative, a New York State Task Force has been created to provide guidance with regard to the new licensing requirements. Our Executive Director and CEO, Mary Ann Malack-Ragona, has been appointed to this Task Force and clearly recognizes that staff training is going to be a large part of the new licensing regulations for Adult Care Facilities & Assisted Living Facilities.
