Caregivers are considered “lay persons with skills.” Many of our independent caregivers have nursing assistant (C.N.A.) or other healthcare-related backgrounds, such as naturopathic, nursing, massage or acupuncture studies. They specialize in “medical” care giving, including hospice care.

Caregivers seeking nursing assistant training may contact one of the following Portland, Oregon schools:
