It’s Time for the COVID-19 Resource Round-Up

Posted on May 5, 2020 by Jodi Boyne

Each week we summarize and provide links to new tools and resources developed by LeadingAge Minnesota to help you respond to COVID-19. This week we feature tools in the area of workforce, testing and emergency staffing, as well as talking points and promotional materials for next week’s Long-Term Care week.  

Basic Care Aide: Designed to train displaced workers or redeploy current stafft, this new position will help you maximize your staff strategy during this public health emergency. The 9 hours of online training with 2 hours of skills and competency testing is free! If your organization uses EduCare for your training needs, the curriculum is already available in your EduCare library. If your organization is not an EduCare User, you can enroll students here.

Employment FAQ was developed by our valued business partner Fehlhaber Larson and provides answers to questions on employee testing, workers’ comp and return to work.  

Emergency Staffing Template Policy can be adapted to your organization to follow when normal means of filling shifts are insufficient.

Considerations for Preparing for Expanded Testing in Long-Term Care will help you prepare for expanded testing and make decisions about your own testing strategy. 

Call to Action Talking Points will help you garner support for the tools we need to combat COVID-19 – PPE, testing and staffing.

Long Term Care Week Resources will help you celebrate and honor your staff during Long-Term Care Week (May 10-16).
