The Texas Direct Care Staff Training Kit is specifically designed to help administrators, managers, and/or department heads provide the direct care staff training required by Texas Administrative Code, Subchapter C, Rule 92.41. This regulation requires all staff members to complete four hours of orientation before assuming any job responsibilities. Training must cover, at a minimum, the following topics:

• Reporting of abuse of neglect
• Confidentiality of resident information
• Universal precautions
• Conditions about which they should notify the facility manager
• Residents’ rights
• Emergency and evacuation procedures

The regulation also requires that “attendants” must complete 16 hours of on-the-job supervision and training within the first 16 hours of employment following orientation. Training must include:

• In Type A and B facilities, providing assistance with the activities of daily living
• Resident’s conditions and how they may affect provision of tasks
• Safety measures to prevent accidents and injuries
• Emergency first aid procedures, such as the Heimlich maneuver and actions to take when a resident falls, suffers a laceration, or experiences a sudden change in physical and/or mental status
• Managing disruptive behavior
