Maryland assisted living, the 20 hours your manager needs — approved, online, $100.
The rewritten COMAR 10.07.14 put more training on every program: the 80-hour manager course now applies regardless of size, managers need 20 hours of Department-approved continuing education every two years, every new hire needs 6 hours on cognitive impairment within 120 days, and the annual fire, infection control, food safety and emergency hours keep coming. Training & eTracking Solutions is on OHCQ’s approved-vendor list for the 20-hour ALM continuing education, our staff packages are written to the section numbers, and the whole facility tracks itself.

& save
Paying per seat, per month, with an auto-renewing contract and no export clause? Our team moves your training records and certificates into each staff member’s history, maps them to the Maryland requirements, and locks your rate at renewal. Plus 15 hours of setup consulting included.
Beyond the mandate
A full learning platform, not a certificate mill
The approved hours get you through the survey. The rest of the platform is why facilities stay: a course library of 700-plus titles across senior care, dementia, behavioral health and workplace safety, modern e-learning, and automation that runs the annual cycle for you.
Maryland requirement mapping
COMAR 10.07.14 as a live checklist: manager CE on its two-year clock, the 6-hour window for new hires, the 2-hour and 1-hour annual rule by role, and the annual safety hours, per person.
Live compliance dashboard
Every staff member against every requirement in one grid: green when satisfied, flagged when due, evidence attached. When the surveyor asks, the answer is one screen away.
Auto-enroll, auto-renew, auto-remind
New hires land in their orientation and cognitive-impairment hours on day one. Annual requirements renew themselves. Reminders chase completions so your manager doesn’t have to.
Create and host your own training
Upload your policies, service-plan procedures and emergency plans, or build a course in-platform, and roll them out beside the catalog with the same tracking.
Available in up to 23 languages
Courses deliverable in up to 23 languages with localized narration and assessments, so every aide trains in the language they think in.
Certificates and transcripts that travel
Every completion produces a printable certificate and a permanent transcript. Records export any time; you never lose the ability to prove compliance.
DirectCareChat
An AI care assistant for the floor: staff ask a policy, care or procedure question and get a reliable answer grounded in the trainings they actually took.
How switching works
Three steps from stuck to switched
See it for yourself
Reach out for a live demo. We present the platform, then hand you a demo environment with its own login so your administrator, nurse and HR lead can explore it on their own time.
We move your records
Our team imports your existing training records and certificates so every staff member’s history is intact on day one. No gap in what you can prove to a surveyor.
Start training
Every new facility gets 15 hours of setup consulting: groups, annual cycles, your own policies uploaded, reminders switched on.
It’s 15 hours to set up the next 15 years.
