This will be the only NJDOH approved curriculum.  The federal regulations give each state the flexibility to allow nursing homes to use dining assistants to supplement the services of nursing staff if their use is consistent with state law\, and if the dining assistants successfully complete a state-approved training program. We have decided to use the term dining assistant\, rather than feeding assistant\, because we believe it is a term that is more aligned with person-centered care and resident dignity. \nThis program is intended to train the primary instructors of paid dining assistants in nursing homes. The primary instructor must be a registered nurse with previous long-term care experience and a current New Jersey license.  Ideally\, the curriculum would be taught with other team members such as a registered dietitian\, licensed physical\, speech\, and/or occupational therapist\, and/or a licensed social worker. \nRegistration Information\n\nContent will be the same for the webinar and in-person sessions.  There is NO fee but registration is required. \nTo register\, click here.
