Description
Families who place a parent in assisted living tend to think the hands that help are trained hands. Lindsey Smith and four co-authors read the rule books of all fifty states and the capital in 2023 to test that faith. Each license kind in each state was scored for the hours of training it asks and the topics it names. The spread is the tale.
The most common shape asks a thin one to ten hours a year, with no topic list at all. Three states ask nothing of untrained hands. Twenty states hold at least one license with no hour or topic rule. Ten states ask more than ten hours with a full topic list for some license kind. The team call the patchwork a risk hiding in plain sight.
