WSRCC
presents an exciting educational opportunity to all licensed
adult family home providers. We have joined with the University
of Washington, NW Geriatric Education Center, to provide 52
credits on current geriatric care topics. Nationally and
regionally recognized NWGEC faculty from the University of
Washington present each topic. The series assists providers in
developing and enhancing health promotion interventions to
prevent disease and postpone further disability for the older
adults they serve.
The hours of
education are done at your leisure, in your own home, downloaded
from the internet. Parts of the series are video format and the
other parts are workbook format. Upon completion of the full
program for a total of 52 credits you will combine certificates
with the 48 credits from the AFH Administration Course and
present them to an identified DSHS employee. Upon receipt of
your total 100 credits DSHS will mail you a certificate stating
“Certified Geriatric Care Provider” to proudly display in
your home.
Cost:
$300.00 for 52 credits
There is a
core curriculum of 10 modules to be completed by all
participants. The remaining modules are personal choice to
complete for a total of 52 credits.
Video-based
modules include a streaming video of a 1.5 hour lecture and a
