BCA Funding Extended

On September 8, 2021 by Jenna Kellerman

As the workforce crisis deepens due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 1135 waiver remains in place, grant funding for the Basic Care Aide and Paid Feeding Assistant Training programs has been extended until November. This support comes from the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation and EduCare. You may continue to register students here, while EduCare users can still access the training in your EduCare library.

We anticipate dynamic changes in caregiving needs, and organizations may still want to begin a plan to transition BCAs into Registered Nursing Assistants as they are able. Contact LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation’s OnTrack team to learn about how you can access online and on-demand nursing assistant training in addition to BCA. We offer options for organizations with and without MDH-approved Nursing Assistant Training programs.

Thank you for your patience as the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation adapts to the changing environment alongside providers. Questions can be directed to Jenna Kellerman.
