The Right eLearning Courses to Train All Senior Care Employees

Silverchair has spent many hours researching the needs and abilities of senior care employees to develop courses that are easy to use and appropriate for their learning level. Our courses specifically cover instructional material that addresses the Senior Care worker's role in the long-term environment of care.

What’s important:

• Courses written on a 6th-8th grade reading level
• Available in English and Spanish (you can toggle back and forth)
• Audio voiceover narration
• Easy navigation and NO SCROLLING
• Continuing Education contact hours for nurses and administrators

The Tools to Stay Ahead of Regulatory Changes

With training, it’s important to keep up with constantly-changing federal and state regulations. Having the confidence that you courses will be updated automatically as regulations change is critical. With Silverchair, your course updates and expansions (new courses covering new topics) are automatic. Our Clinical Consulting team monitors all state and federal regulations, so you stay ahead of changes and can easily adapt training as needed.

All course updates and expansions are included in your eLearning system and are provided as needed. Additional curricula (from SLS and its content partners) are available for purchase.

Course Flexibility

Silverchair also offers the ultimate in training flexibility—course customization. Clients customize courses to meet training requirements unique to their organization, incorporating policies, procedures, key personnel, and environmental factors. Customization can target needs of specific facilities within an organization, or needs of various groups of learners within the organization. Available at no extra charge.
