This initiative can be a pivotal point for the Assisted Living sector of healthcare by giving us the ability to thoroughly train and support CNAs through investing in them-so they in turn invest in our resident's quality and continuity of care. It is important to note that CNAs are needed across the Commonwealth in a multitude of different roles and sectors, even those outside of the normal "healthcare" realm. We are talking about empowering and providing training for Virginians interested in a servant career who may otherwise not have the means to get the training elsewhere. If folks WANT to care for our aging population, WHY wouldn't we find a way to help this happen for them? If we are all open to change, then it shows we are invested in being part of the solution. It takes hard work, dedication and commitment from organizations such as mine to make this successful, but it's much more likely to yield successful results than not, which is why it's worth the fight!
