As you know, RCFE (Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly) certification sets you apart from the competition. In California, this certification is required by law and you must be 21 or older to get one. RFCE certification requires taking classes, taking a test, and paying the testing and certification fees to the State of California.
There are currently almost 8,000 residential care centers for the elderly with a total of almost 179,000 beds. Don’t be shocked to learn that this isn’t enough to handle CA’s aging demographic. You see, California is in crisis mode trying to cope with all the care for the elderly. It is certainly a growing industry.
The California State Exam for RCFE Certification consists of 100 questions. They are not difficult, but you cannot pass without serious study and knowing the important details. Before taking the test, you must have completed high school or show GED equivalence. You must prove that you have completed a minimum of 80 hours of classroom instruction before you qualify for the test. Like all such legitimate elder care professions, a background check is absolutely required.
You can ask anyone at CANHR – The California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform – why an RCFE certification is so important. Due to problems in the past, the RCFE certification was created and it has gone a long way in solving the challenges of inadequate care for our elderly seniors in boarding and care facilities. Elder abuse has decreased, the quality of life has increased and the elderly receive better care. Their families now have more choices.
If you need your RCFE certificate, it makes sense to find a highly regarded school to receive your instruction. It is recommended that you read through the syllabus and understand what is being taught. It is vital that you learn from a school with skilled and experienced instructors who have worked in the field. Instructors who can explain what to expect on a daily basis, because there is much more to learn than just the 100 questions of the state RCFE test for certification.
Is the RCFE test difficult? Well, it’s not easy, and if you’ve studied and understood what you’ve learned, you should do well. Again, provided you have chosen the right RCFE school. The State of California wants to make sure you understand the rules and the law. That you follow those rules and don’t break the law. Each rule is there for a specific reason, and many of these reasons have stories behind them, none are arbitrary.
