Assisted Living Education
Assisted living communities operate in a demanding environment where safety, dignity, and regulatory compliance matter as much as day-to-day care. To support these needs, organizations require assisted living education that is practical, accredited, and tailored to both residential care and operational standards.
CareerSmart® provides online training for assisted living staff designed to strengthen decision making, improve documentation, reduce turnover, and ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. Our evidence-based courses are created by long-term care professionals who understand the daily realities of older adult care in residential settings.
Whether you manage a single facility, oversee multiple communities, or support staff training across a large senior living network, CareerSmart® delivers flexible, accessible assisted living training programs that help teams learn confidently and consistently.
Training Built for Assisted Living Teams
Assisted living operates differently from hospitals or skilled nursing facilities, and training should reflect that. CareerSmart® develops content specifically for the assisted living environment, where staff must balance resident independence with safety, clear communication, and regulatory expectations.
Our assisted living education catalog includes:
- Foundational caregiver training
- California-required initial and annual caregiver training
- Memory care and dementia-focused certificate program and training
- Infection control and emergency preparedness
- Ethics, boundaries, and resident rights
- LGBTQ+ sensitivity training for long-term care professionals
- Safety, fall prevention, and risk mitigation courses
Training modules are available 24/7, self-paced, and mobile-friendly—so your team can learn without stepping away from resident care.
Accredited Home Health CE & Hospice Education
Credibility matters in long-term care. All CareerSmart® courses are developed by licensed subject matter experts and meet recognized quality standards. Our accreditations include:
