Feeding Assistants


I am just wondering if any of you guys (I'm from Colorado, I know every state's different) had a feeding assistant curriculum. We just became able to employ these assistants with an 8 hour training period, I just don't know what to put in the curriculum to try and get approval. Thanks for any help.

The day of training that ours undergo is taken directly from the cna training program...I believe that ours are going to be permitted to feed patients that are not on a swallowing protocol....

This is a 12 page guideline from the Federal Register which will give a you picture of what to include in the curriculum.
