The DSD Regulatory Reference Manual

The Director of Staff Development holds one of the most heavily regulated jobs in a California nursing facility, yet the rules that define the role are scattered across two state codes, two titles of federal regulation and thousands of pages of surveyor guidance. This manual gathers them in one place.

Now in its Second Edition, it collects, verifies and explains every regulation that touches staff development in California skilled nursing facilities and residential care facilities for the elderly, with every requirement tied to its official source.

• Who regulates long-term care in California, and how to read, cite and track regulations
• The survey process, complaint investigations, citations, remedies and appeals
• DSD qualifications, the Nurse Assistant Training Program, competencies and in-service requirements
• An annual in-service calendar, compliance checklists and a Title 22, 42 CFR and F-Tag crosswalk
