Residential care settings: first-aid and CPR standards

First Aid & CPR Minnesota

In Minnesota, licensed assisted living facilities care for seniors and vulnerable adults who may face a sudden medical emergency. State law requires these facilities to ensure their staff can respond promptly, with first aid and CPR built into direct care training.

Settings concerned

Assisted living facilities, governed by Minnesota Chapter 144G, which requires facilities to ensure staff can respond to resident emergencies.

The first-aid requirement

Assisted living facilities under Chapter 144G must ensure staff can respond to resident emergencies, and direct care staff training commonly includes first aid and CPR, 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 meet and keep this standard; it is 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.
