Hawaii SB943 mandates certified nurse aides for primary caregivers in community care foster family homes serving two or three clients.
Hawaii SB943 amends state law to require primary caregivers in community care foster family homes (CCFFHs) to be certified nurse aides (CNAs) for homes serving two or three clients. This change aims to ensure that the higher level of care needed for residents is met by qualified professionals. The bill also mandates that substitute caregivers complete continuing education and have prior work experience as caregivers. The primary caregiver must be at least 21 years old and can be absent for no more than 28 hours a week, provided a substitute CNA is present.
