Personal Care Home training courses offered at Penn State Beaver

The Penn State Beaver Office of Continuing Education delivers a variety of courses for health care professionals who are preparing to become personal care home administrators and/or administrators and direct-care staff who must meet continuing education requirements.

Individuals who are providing elder care for family members will find several or all topics valuable and are welcome to attend. All classes are held at Beaver campus.

These courses address issues surrounding personal care homes as well as the responsibility to provide safe, humane, comfortable and supportive residential settings for adults who don't require the services in or of a licensed, long-term care facility but do require assistance or supervision with daily living activities and other physical and mental life skills.
