The heath care industry is in an unprecedented growth phase. We are at the cusp of seeing the enormous Baby Boomer Generation transitioning into the long-term care setting. The need for qualified care givers can only be expected to grow to accommodate this expanding group. This will drive not only the need for more nurses but for more Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) as well.

CNA Training is state mandated.  Achieving Certified Nursing Assistant status grants the eligibility to work in a hospital or skilled-nursing environment. While classes are available at local colleges and trade schools, they are occasionally offered by long-term care facilities and other facilities that are willing to train new employees to take the state mandated tests. Currently, Hillendale Home Care is offering ongoing CNA Training classes.

The training includes many different techniques for providing care support services such as: bathing, dressing, incontinent care, taking vital signs, CPR, safe handling of wheel chairs and walkers, meal preparation and nutrition. These skills can be used in either a hospital or home health setting. Throughout this training students are thoroughly oriented and given the practical skills necessary for performing their nursing assistant duties.

At the completion of the theory and practical training Hillendale students are not only eligible but very well prepared to take the state proctored test.

The comprehensive, eight-week Hillendale CNA and Home Health Aide Training course of learning is a quick way to start a brand new and fulfilling career.
