Caregiver Retention, Dementia Training, and Regulatory Requirements

As part of the Division’s commitment to Teach, Learn and Collaborate, the WI Department of Health Services (DHS), Division of Quality Assurance (DQA), and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, Center for Community Development, Engagement and Training (UWO CCDET) are here to help you meet your training needs.

Developed by UWO CCDET in collaboration with DQA, these interactive workshops are designed to assist you with caregiver retention in all regulated settings, meet regulatory requirements for newly licensed/certified entities, and access dementia related training materials.

Register for these June workshops to get access to valuable resources and real-time answers from subject matter experts.

For All DQA-Regulated Providers:

This 6-hour in-person course trains qualified individuals to train their own audiences using the Dementia-Capable Wisconsin, Challenging Behavioral Specialist training materials. For more information about this course, please see the syllabus.

The goal of this 4-hour virtual workshop is to assist you in training new and current caregiving staff in various life skills to better adapt to the everyday challenges in their work environment as well as in their personal lives, resulting in less stress, greater job satisfaction and increased professional success.

For Adult Daycare, Assisted Living, and Homecare Providers:

This 4-hour virtual workshop will outline important onboarding steps for newly licensed/certified entities seeking to comply with requirements. Existing entities may also benefit from a review of ongoing requirements presented in this workshop. Provider specific administrative requirement quick reference charts are provided for ADC, AFH, CBRF, HHA, Hospice, PCA, & RCAC providers.
