The State of California follows a set of guidelines, as mandated by OBRA 1987, to ensure the quality of care that CNAs render while doing their jobs in long-term facilities. Laws are implemented throughout the state for the benefit of the resident or patient as well as for the CNA. The Department of Health Services Office is responsible for approving, maintaining, and monitoring qualified CNAs. In California, many Long Term Care (LTC) facilities offer a wide range of work opportunities for CNAs who would like to experience life in the medical industry. California leads the list of state in need for CNAs; over 4000 CNAs will be needed by the state in coming years. This fact makes this career in demand in California.
