California has more than 150,000 certified nursing assistants (CNA) and home health aides (HHA), who are providing paid care and support for a growing number of older adults and persons with a disability. This direct care workforce provides the bulk of care for those living at home and for residents of long-term care facilities. The SCAN Foundation, through its 2009 themed request for proposals, supported five grantees to develop a series of continuing education curricula (in-services) for this direct care workforce.
