An aging population and a shortage of care workers make graduates of the Home Support/ Resident Care Attendant program in high demand. The program prepares an individual to function as a valuable member of the health care team. The graduate will be able to provide care, under supervision, to assist clients in meeting their basic needs and to achieve the highest possible quality of life.
This six-month, full-time, dual certificate program combines class lectures with hands-on practicum sessions allowing students to begin learning and practicing personal care skills. What is taught and practiced in class mirrors what will be done on the job. This ensures students can transfer skills they have learned directly into the work setting.
