Basic 8 Refresher – Administrator Compliance Foundations (Post-Licensure)

Colorado Home Care Administrator Training Built for Today’s Survey Reality

The Basic 8 Refresher – Administrator Compliance Foundations (Post-Licensure) is a targeted training program for experienced Colorado home care administrators, alternates, and managers who are responsible for maintaining licensure compliance and survey readiness.

Recent data released by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) shows that the most frequently cited deficiencies for home care agencies are not related to the quality of care — they are tied to documentation, oversight systems, administrator training, and quality management processes.

This refresher course was designed to address exactly those gaps.

Why a Basic 8 Refresher?

Many administrators completed the Basic 8 training years ago — before expanded services, updated regulations, and evolving survey expectations reshaped the compliance landscape.

CDPHE’s most recent survey findings confirm that agencies are most often cited for:

• incomplete or inconsistent documentation

• missed or undocumented supervisory visits

• gaps in administrator or manager qualifications

• weak or inactive Quality Management Programs (QMPs)

• insufficient emergency preparedness risk assessments

The Basic 8 Refresher reconnects experienced leaders to the regulatory foundations that surveyors are actively reviewing today.

This is not an introductory course.
It is a compliance reset.
