What type of orientation or training do VNA caregivers receive?
All new VNA caregivers attend an extensive orientation, which focuses on safety, ethics, compliance issues, confidentiality and the vast array of program and services provided by the VNA. Additional training is provided to caregivers on specific clinical processes and requirements to complete their job. Caregivers receive the opportunity to complete up to 20 hours of continuing education annually through monthly training programs and skills labs. Some of these are for specific accreditation requirements while others serve to expand the caregiver’s skill set for personal and professional growth.
