Why Compliance Matters

Operating a Skilled Nursing Facility means meeting stringent CMS Conditions of Participation (CoPs). These federal standards aren’t optional. If your facility falls short, the consequences can include penalties, repayment, or loss of Medicare and Medicaid funding.

One critical requirement: staff training.
Under §483.95 Staff Training Requirements, CMS requires SNFs to provide initial and ongoing training across categories that touch every member of your workforce.

What CareAcademy Covers

Our new SNF curriculum is designed to align directly with CMS CoPs, ensuring you’re survey-ready and improving quality of care.

We cover:

  • All-Staff Training: Resident rights, abuse prevention, infection control, HIPAA
  • Nurse Aide Training: Ongoing CEU requirements, dementia care, abuse prevention
  • Feeding Assistant Training: Competencies for non-licensed staff assisting residents with meals under nurse supervision

Behavioral Health Training: Care for residents with depression, anxiety, dementia, and other behavioral health needs
