Residential care settings: first-aid and CPR standards

First Aid & CPR Nevada

In Nevada, assisted-living settings and residential facilities for groups that house vulnerable adults and seniors, along with home-health services, depend on care staff able to respond to a medical emergency. To keep residents safe, these settings must ensure their aides are certified in first aid and CPR.

Settings concerned

Assisted-living facilities, residential facilities for groups, long-term care facilities and home-health agencies.

The first-aid requirement

Care staff working in assisted-living, home-health and long-term-care settings must complete hands-on CPR and first-aid certification within 30 days of hire; the requirement applies to CNAs, home health aides and assisted-living staff who care for residents.

A recognized, up-to-date first-aid and CPR certificate is the way to meet this requirement; it is in addition to the worker's occupational training and must be renewed periodically.

How to meet it

A recognized, up-to-date first-aid and CPR certificate meets this requirement. It is in addition to the required training or assessment, and is renewed periodically.

For organizations: keep your team compliant

When the certificate is an employer requirement, the real challenge is tracking. Our organization system manages a team’s training: a certification dashboard, deadline tracking, automatic renewal reminders and proof archiving. An organization keeps its whole staff current without watching every date by hand.

Training aligned with the latest emergency-care standards

Our CPR, AED and first-aid training is developed in line with the most recent international guidelines for emergency cardiovascular care and first aid.

We rigorously follow the recommendations of ILCOR (International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation), the international body responsible for the scientific evaluation and development of global resuscitation standards. These recommendations serve as a reference for health organizations, institutions and professional orders worldwide — and are updated as scientific and clinical evidence evolves.

Keep your skills current with confidence

Every intervention can make a difference. Keeping CPR and emergency-care skills current is both a professional requirement and a responsibility toward patients, colleagues and the public.
