About the academy
A new day for caregiver training
New Day Healthcare Academy prepares adults to enter home care with confidence, skill and the professionalism families deserve.
Built by caregivers, verified by nurses
We started New Day because too much caregiver training is a slideshow with a multiple-choice test at the end. Real home care is judgment: knowing when to stop, when to sit a client down, and when to call the nurse.
Our Virginia 40-Hour Personal Care Aide program teaches that judgment through branching case scenarios, video demonstrations, online competency checklists and recorded skill assessments that a registered nurse reviews electronically. The whole program is completed online.
The academy is built so state-specific caregiver courses can be added over time, each with its own required hours, topics, competency requirements and regulatory version.
What we stand for
Clinical accuracy first
Every module is written and reviewed against current caregiving practice, not recycled slide decks.
Dignity in every lesson
We teach care that protects a person's privacy, culture, choices and independence.
Honest credentials
We never overstate approval status, and no certificate is released without RN verification.
Access for working adults
Mobile-friendly training you can complete between shifts, at your own pace.
