CPR Training for Homecare Workers

The Oregon Home Care Commission will cover the cost of CPR/First Aid training for currently active Homecare Workers who have completed two other Home Care Commission training classes. (Registry or MoneyWise trainings will not be counted towards this).

We do not offer CPR/First Aid classes through the Commission, but instead will pay the cost of Adult CPR/First Aid at a local chapter of the American Red Cross. You must receive prior approval from the Oregon Home Care Commission to sign up for a class. You may apply for this once per year.

If you are interested, submit a request:

Following receipt and processing of your request, you will be contacted with information about how to sign up for training in your area.

Professional Development Recognition

The Oregon Home Care Commission now recognizes homecare workers who are continuing their education by attending training. If you qualify, you can choose either a pin or key chain.

To qualify, you must have attended the core classes of Keeping It Professional, Working Together, and Helping Caregivers Fight Fraud and Abuse. In addition, you must attend five hours of safety-related trainings (such as PASS, TRIPS, or PDT), and five hours of other service and skill trainings (such as Challenging Behaviors, Dementia, Diabetes, etc.), and also have current CPR/First Aid certification.
