On January 17, 2025, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) released a new DAL, “Cultural Competency Requirements for Home Health Aide, Personal Care Aide, and Certified Nurse Aide Training Programs” (DRS #25-02). This DAL is essentially a follow-up to two other DALs, the March 18, 2024 DAL, “Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights Amendment” (DAL NH 24-09 / DAL ACF 24-19) and the October 2, 2024 DAL, “Affirming Care for Older LGBTQIA+ Individuals Online Training Module for Direct Support Caregivers” (DAL DACF 24-29 / DAL NH 24-17 / DAL HCBS 24-04).

The new DAL was issued to ensure providers are aware of the training requirements which are part of the certification and recertification requirements for:

  • Home Health Aides (HHAs)
  • Personal Care Aides (PCAs)
  • Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs)
