NC DHSR ACLS: 5-Hour Training Course for Adult Care Homes

5-Hour Training Course for Adult Care Homes - Instructor Manual

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services developed standardized training courses for qualified instructors to train unlicensed staff who will perform medication aide duties in adult care homes.

The 5-hour training course is built around the current Medication Administration Skills Validation Form (DHSR/AC 4605 NCDHHS) required for medication staff in adult care homes. The majority of the 5-hour course schedule centers around time spent for instruction and validation of skills required for medication administration. The design of the course is for a small class of employees or 1:1 training for a specific facility. The 5-hour training course includes an instructor manual, materials to duplicate for a student manual and a certificate template required for participants who successfully complete the course. The student manual developed for the Medication Administration 10/15-hour Training Course may also be used.
