The Beacon Institute is proud to announce it's first ever training series for assisted living managers. This program series is intended to respond to new Maryland regulations that require assisted living managers to complete 80 hours of training and successful completion of a test. These regs will be enforced as of August, 2009.

Beacon invites all assisted living managers (both LifeSpan members and non-members) to consider this offering as the best possible way to comply with new state rules...

Hot topics in July and August include disaster planning, delegating nurse regulations in assisted living, food safety, risk management, medication safety, wound care & incontinence assessment, and others.

Beacon has developed these excellent array of educational offerings for senior care professionals, and now you can register and pay for seminars on Beacon's web site at: http://www.lifespan-network.org/beacon_edu_calendar.asp
