LTCI policies pay for caregiving services and require certain standards to be met for the policy benefits. One of the usual requirements will be for the caregivers to be trained as a certified caregiver.
Caregiver Training University provides online caregiver training courses, meeting state requirements for senior caregivers to become certified.
Caregiver training for most states covers the basic caregiving skills and will take about 8-hours to complete. Remember that the number of hours includes time to study and take the exam which will confirm retention of the training concepts.
LTCI policy holders may purchase the training for their caregivers and then submit the certificates which are digital and may be downloaded and shared.
The online caregiver training courses for long-term care insurance policy requirements may be purchased for $59 or, for $79 to include a t-shirt and lapel pin.
