Clackamas, OR (PRWEB) July 08, 2014 -- Right at Home, one of the most trusted names in home care services, has selected the Institute for Professional Care Education (IPCed) as a preferred vendor to provide online training for employee state compliance and professional development.

Right at Home University – the educational arm of the Right at Home Caregiver Education Retention and Training Program (CERT Program) – offers Right at Home employees a specialized plan for training and education while their customers derive the highest standard of care. From training to help develop caregivers’ skills overall to training on dealing with specific situations and diseases, Right at Home University offers a one-of-a-kind approach to educating and retaining quality Right at Home employees.
Right at Home’s partnership with IPCed fits well with their focus on training and quality care. The IPCed partnership presents a new initiative to expand compliance training opportunities for franchise offices. Right at Home has selected IPCed because they clearly understand the needs of home care business owners and share a passion for raising the standard of care in the industry.
“IPCed’s focus on strengthening the quality of care in our industry comes through clearly in the courses they offer,” says Michelle Koester, Director of Organizational Learning for Right at Home. “We both agree that caregiver training is paramount to providing high-quality care and the best in-home care services.”

The company includes the widely utilized aQuire Training Solutions division of online courses, Medifecta Healthcare Training for DVD and instructor resources, and EasyCEU.com for nationally accredited continuing education courses for leadership-level professionals in the field.
“Our company has experienced explosive growth in the past few years,” notes Brothers, “due in part to a growth in the caregiving needs of the country, but also due to our strong reputation in the field of training and certification.
