RCFE Certification - Change Is Coming

As if  look here  of California's RCFE Certification wasn't strict enough, it's going to get even tougher.  Why you ask?  Well, you can probably figure out that without us describing it to you, but for all of you who are not yet in the industry let's spend a few minutes to talk about it.

We all recognize that the coronavirus took a huge toll on retirement communities, old folks' homes, nursing homes, and residential care facilities for the elderly (RCFE).  In New York nearly 25 percent of all coronavirus deaths occurred in a nursing home.  In Kirkland, WA we saw almost 30% of the elderly at one of the centers die from coronavirus.  In California, in spite of our rigorous adherence to virus protocols, the coronavirus was able to find its way to a high number of certified RCFEs.

Once the virus gets in and infects both residents and staff, it spreads rapidly, often before anyone finds it, and from the time symptoms appear, it's too late - you can find so many infected, you might as well turn the facility into a covid-19 hospital.  Those who oversee the regulations of RCFE Certification are getting a lot of attention now from State Legislators who need answers and wish to understand how we will avoid something like this from happening in the future.

Luckily, regulators are working together with all the RCFE Industry to think of new rules, procedures, and protocols.  There is a team currently working on ways to discover the spread of virus, this virus or some other early on with testing.  In the future RCFEs is going to be the first to be alarmed and thus, able to move quickly to avoid such a calamity.  There's no doubt that RCFEs will probably be asked to have test kits, PPE, and other gear on hand for quick installation.

The RCFE Certification will be more difficult to achieve in the future, and there'll be many more rules and regulations, and much more costs and time will be inserted to complywith  A few in our industry think California is one of the toughest states for RCFE Certification, that will be true , but we can expect things to get even harder due to exactly what 's transpired.  Though there were some mistakes made along the way by RCFE operators, state regulatory health authorities, as well as politicians this is no time to place blame.

Our industry has its work cut out for us, we have to rise to occasion and continue our mission, press on against the adversity and emerge stronger than ever before.  We'll, we have to, and we are up for the battle.  Let us help you with your RCFE Certification, let's be great, and protect our most vulnerable from any prospective virus.
