They are intended to shift the focus of facilities from meeting regulatory requirements to identifying and meeting residents' needs for care.
Additionally, the Office of Long Term Care offers a listing of CEU programs, and routinely provides facility and staff training on various subjects, including:
- Abuse and neglect, and maltreatment reporting
- Resident Trust Funds

It was developed in response to the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1989 and seeks to improve the quality of care in long term care facilities.
