WisCaregiver Careers is designed to address the CNA shortage in Wisconsin nursing homes by providing free training, free certification testing, and $500 sign-on or retention bonuses. The program seeks to encourage new workers to enter the field of caregiving by lowering the costs of becoming a CNA and by making training more readily accessible.

Effective recruitment, retention, orientation, and onboarding practices are key to dealing with the workforce crisis facing many long-term care providers. LeadingAge Wisconsin has created a website of valuable tools and resources for our members and subscribers.

Value First is a group purchasing organization that leverages the buying power of long term care communities to provide significant savings on food, medical, janitorial, office supplies, capital equipment, and new construction materials. Providers who participate in the Value First purchasing program pay no annual fee, select only the suppliers that best fit their needs, and support LeadingAge Wisconsin with their purchases. This video showcases how Value First helped a provider’s transition to a new food vendor. Contact Denise May (DMay@LeadingAgeWI.org) for more information.

We are thrilled to provide our members access to an exceedingly competitive pharmacy services agreement. Please take some time to get to know HealthDirect and the services they offer.

Contact Denise May at dmay@LeadingAgeWI.org if you have any questions about the process.  

LeadingAge Wisconsin works diligently to represent your voice with Wisconsin's legislators, but our voice alone cannot convey the intensity of your needs. Please contribute to the LeadingAge Wisconsin Political Action Committee (PAC). Your contribution will help us support those legislators who best understand your needs and concerns.
