Continuing Care Assistant

As a CCA, you’ll work directly with clients in long term care, home care, assisted living, some areas in acute care and even special needs classrooms. You’ll help them with mobility, personal care, assisting them to eat their meals and medication monitoring. Is this program a fit for you? Continuing Care Assistants have been called “the eyes and ears of the frail and vulnerable.” You need to be a caring, patient person with an upbeat attitude and good people skills. Your most important asset is simply a desire to improve the quality of life for others. The Continuing Care Assistant Program provides the knowledge and skills you need to move into this rewarding field. It is an 8 month certificate program that combines hands-on classroom learning with practical clinical experience. Practicums provide direct experience in home care, long-term care, special care and acute care settings.
