The legislation is to define requirements for dementia training in Adult Residential Care and Nursing Facilities and requires that all employees in these facilities be trained. Department of Health and Hospitals, Office of Aging and Adult Services (OAAS) designated Our Lady of the Lake (OLOL) Health Career Institute (HCI) in Baton Rouge as the Oversight Organization for the review and approval of dementia training curricula used in post-acute care settings.
