Can an approved paid feeding assistant curriculum be taught by an establishment other than a licensed nursing home?
Yes, provided that an approved paid feeding assistant training course is taught by a registered nurse and the skills demonstration portion is conducted and tested in a setting/situation similar to a nursing home. The nursing home must verify that the paid feeding assistant training course that was taught was an approved training course and that the paid feeding assistant is competent to perform the feeding skills.
