Help Shape Maine’s Dementia Care Training – Survey Closes June 23

MHCA members are encouraged to complete a brief survey to support the development of a new training program for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) in Maine.
 
The AgingME2 Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) is developing a CNA Microcredential – Dementia Care Specialist Badge and is seeking input to ensure the training reflects the needs of the long term care workforce. This survey will help identify training gaps and inform the design of the final program.

Please note: This initiative is not part of QuEST or the Dementia Care Partnership. The survey is anonymous, takes 10–15 minutes to complete, and is open until Monday, June 23 at 5:00 PM.

AgingME2's broader goal is to improve the health and wellbeing of Maine's older adults through enhanced workforce training and practice transformation. Your input will help ensure that the Dementia Care Specialist Badge is meaningful and relevant to CNA roles in long term care.

Please share the survey link with others in your organization. If you've already completed it, no further action is needed. For questions, contact: len.kaye@maine.edu
