Substantial Compliance Consulting Group in proud partnership with ESAAL is excited to announce a new training program!

Medication Assistance in the Adult Care Facility

 This Training Program is specifically designed for those who will be providing assistance with medications in Adult Care/Assisted Living Facilities. The Training Program will provide participants with the fundamentals of medication assistance, as well as NYS requirements for non-licensed staff assisting residents with self-administration of their medications. Substantial Compliance Training Environment (SCTE) and the Empire State Association of Assisted Living (ESAAL) are pleased to partner in providing this Training Program.

  For ease and flexibility, the online Training Program is offered on-demand and registrants may proceed through the modules at their own convenience.  The Training Program is composed of eight mini modules which range from approximately 8-17 minutes in length and are followed by key reinforcement points at the end of each module. The Training Program concludes with a 42-question quiz that requires at least 36 correct answers (85%) to pass. Participants will have two attempts to achieve the 85% passing score.
