ABOUT THE NRCPT TOOLKIT

The National Respite Care Provider Training (NRCPT) Toolkit is a complete guide to help support the recruitment and training of respite care providers. The information provided will help organizations replicate the National Respite Care Provider Training TM (NRCPT). The NRCPT is a competency-based entry-level respite provider training curriculum that is suitable for individuals who have never provided respite before, along with individuals who are currently respite providers.

RESPITE PROVIDER RECRUITMENT, TRAINING, AND RETENTION PROJECT

The NRCPT Toolkit was developed as part of the ACL-funded Respite Provider Recruitment, Training, and Retention Pilot Project. The ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center (ARCH), in collaboration with the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) and the Respite Care Association of Wisconsin (RCAW), field-tested a competency-based online respite provider training curriculum for entry-level respite providers in 10 pilot sites. The Respite Care Association of Wisconsin developed the training curriculum, helped advance a newly developed recruitment campaign among the pilot sites, and worked with ARCH and an evaluation consultant to monitor the effectiveness and reach of the training and marketing strategies.
