Residential care settings: first-aid and CPR standards

First Aid & CPR Michigan

In Michigan, homes for the aged and other residential care settings care for seniors and vulnerable adults who may need immediate help in an emergency. State rules require direct care staff to be competent in first aid and CPR before they take on their assigned duties.

Settings concerned

Homes for the aged and residential care settings, governed by Michigan homes-for-the-aged rules that set direct-care staff competency standards.

The first-aid requirement

Michigan homes for the aged require direct care staff to be competent in first aid and CPR before performing assigned tasks, so a trained responder is available to residents who are adults and seniors.

A recognized, up-to-date first-aid and CPR certificate is the way to demonstrate this competency; it is required in addition to the worker's occupational training and must be renewed periodically.

How to meet it

A recognized, up-to-date first-aid and CPR certificate meets this requirement. It is in addition to the required training or assessment, and is renewed periodically.

For organizations: keep your team compliant

When the certificate is an employer requirement, the real challenge is tracking. Our organization system manages a team’s training: a certification dashboard, deadline tracking, automatic renewal reminders and proof archiving. An organization keeps its whole staff current without watching every date by hand.

Training aligned with the latest emergency-care standards

Our CPR, AED and first-aid training is developed in line with the most recent international guidelines for emergency cardiovascular care and first aid.

We rigorously follow the recommendations of ILCOR (International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation), the international body responsible for the scientific evaluation and development of global resuscitation standards. These recommendations serve as a reference for health organizations, institutions and professional orders worldwide — and are updated as scientific and clinical evidence evolves.

Keep your skills current with confidence

Every intervention can make a difference. Keeping CPR and emergency-care skills current is both a professional requirement and a responsibility toward patients, colleagues and the public.
