Texas assisted living, every state-required training hour, tracked per person.
Texas HHSC writes assisted living training in hours, by role: a 24-hour management course and 12 hours of continuing education a year for managers, 4 hours of orientation before an attendant works a shift, 16 hours of supervised on-the-job training, 6 documented hours a year including fall prevention and behavior management, and 4 hours plus 2 annual hours of Alzheimer’s training wherever residents with dementia live. Training & eTracking Solutions delivers those hours as courses and keeps the file HHSC asks for — content, hours, dates and provider, per employee.
The Texas requirements, mapped
Every training line in the Texas rule, covered
Texas HHSC sets assisted living training in hours, by role, in its licensing rules (26 TAC Chapter 553). Here is what they require of managers and attendants, what they add for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders, and what we cover for each.

HHSC surveyors ask for one thing: evidence of training on file with content, hours, dates and provider. TeTS produces it. The orientation topics, the six annual hours with fall prevention and behavior management called out, the manager continuing education and the Alzheimer’s hours in the HHSC assisted living rules (§553.253, §553.254) are delivered on the platform and renewed on their clocks; the 16 supervised hours and any management course you take elsewhere are logged beside them. Administrator continuing education is NAB/NCERS-approved: 36.75 participant hours, program approval code 20261214-36.75-A116953-DL.

Beyond the mandate
A full learning platform, not a certificate mill
The mapped 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.
Texas requirement mapping
The Texas HHSC training rules as a live checklist: the manager course and 12-hour CE clock, attendant orientation and the 16 supervised hours, the six annual hours with fall prevention and behavior management called out, and the Alzheimer’s hours by role, 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.
