This bill amends the Health Care Facilities Act to enhance training requirements for individuals employed by home health care agencies and home care registries. Specifically, it mandates that these individuals complete at least four hours of initial training and two hours of continued training focused on the treatment and care of persons with dementia. The training must cover topics such as Alzheimer's disease, person-centered care, and communication strategies. Additionally, the training credits are designed to be portable across employment within Pennsylvania. The Department of Health is tasked with developing regulations to implement these training requirements within one year of the bill's effective date.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that documentation of compliance with these training requirements must be maintained in each individual's file at the home care agency or registry office. It also outlines that direct care workers in certain service models and individuals with direct consumer contact must adhere to these training standards. The bill aims to ensure that caregivers are adequately prepared to support individuals with dementia, thereby improving the quality of care provided in home health settings. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
