CNA path · RNA training
Build restorative care skills through live Zoom instruction, an in-person skills session, and a clear path to the QCHF RNA Registry.
Why RNA
Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) need trained restorative staff to keep residents moving, supported, and engaged. RNAs deliver the day-to-day restorative care that protects function and prevents avoidable decline.
Restorative programs help residents stay active and retain function.
Consistent restorative care reduces the risk of unnecessary functional loss.
