CPR Training for Homecare Workers

The Oregon Home Care Commission will cover the cost of CPR/First Aid training for currently active Homecare Workers who have completed two other Home Care Commission training classes. (Registry or MoneyWise trainings will not be counted towards this).

We do not offer CPR/First Aid classes through the Commission, but instead will pay the cost of Adult CPR/First Aid at a local chapter of the American Red Cross. You must receive prior approval from the Oregon Home Care commssion to sign up for a class. You may apply for this once per year.

If you are interested, submit a request:

Provide the following information in your request:

• Your name
• Provider number
• Address
• Phone number
• Homecare Worker trainings you have attended

Following receipt and processing of your request, you will be contacted with information about how to sign up for training in your area.
