Invitation to Bid
Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation is applying for a workforce development grant and is seeking bids to provide the training to our staff.
We are looking for someone to provide 70 CNAs with 30 hours of training on Mental Health Concerns. Training sessions will be repeated 8 times throughout the year 2021-22 to reach the goal. The 30 hour advanced skills training program will be designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of CNAs who work with older adults by providing lecture, demonstration, and practice. It offers an in-depth examination of the following topics: Mental Health of Aging; depression, dementia and delirium; the Impact of medical illness on mental health in the Older Adult; death, dying and palliative care understanding in LTC with Covid-19 considerations; trauma informed care; and care of the agitated patient with a focus on de-escalation strategies. The method of delivering service activities will include lecture, mock clinical conferences, and case discussions. Teaching-learning activities will integrate into training modules: communication skills, problem-solving and team building into the curriculum.
The training organization would be responsible for curriculum design, providing educational materials (if needed), and delivering 240 hours of onsite training at our New Hyde Park campus. This proposal is part of a grant submission with a very tight deadline. At this point, we are interested in pricing for budgetary purposes only. If we receive the grant award, we may reach out to you to discuss the program in great detail.
Bids will only be accepted via email. No in-person submissions will be allowed. Bids may be submitted to [email protected]
