4-Hour Annual Memory Care Training
Arizona’s memory care standards are evolving. In 2025, the Arizona Department of Health Services implemented a new state mandate requiring all memory-care assisted living facilities and their teams to complete specialized memory-care training. To continue their required education in 2026, all staff must complete annual memory-care training. Hospice of the Valley provides all the required training at no cost.
Who Needs the Annual Memory Care Training?
- All employees or contractors who have completed the initial 8-hour training and are due for their annual renewal.
- You may enroll in Hospice of the Valley’s annual renewal training regardless of where you completed your initial 8-hour training.
