Residential care settings: first-aid and CPR standards

First Aid & CPR Arizona

In Arizona, assisted living facilities and group homes provide housing and personal care to vulnerable adults and seniors who count on staff in an emergency. To keep residents safe, these settings must ensure caregivers are trained in first aid and CPR before they provide care.

Settings concerned

Assisted living facility and assisted living home, licensed under the Arizona Administrative Code by the Department of Health Services.

The first-aid requirement

Arizona rules require managers of assisted living settings to obtain current documentation that a caregiver has first-aid and CPR training before that caregiver provides care to residents. Current CPR and first aid is effectively a condition for working hands-on with residents.

A recognized, up-to-date first-aid and CPR certificate is the way to meet this obligation; it is in addition to the caregiver'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.
