Strategies for Assisted Living Communities during COVID-19

• ¿Cuándo podré acceder a las lecciones y tareas?

  El acceso a las clases y las asignaciones depende del tipo de inscripción que tengas. Si tomas un curso en modo de oyente, verás la mayoría de los materiales del curso en forma gratuita. Para acceder a asignaciones calificadas y obtener un certificado, deberás comprar la experiencia de Certificado, ya sea durante o después de participar como oyente. Si no ves la opción de oyente:

  • es posible que el curso no ofrezca la opción de participar como oyente. En cambio, puedes intentar con una Prueba gratis o postularte para recibir ayuda económica.

  • Es posible que el curso ofrezca la opción 'Curso completo, sin certificado'. Esta opción te permite ver todos los materiales del curso, enviar las evaluaciones requeridas y obtener una calificación final. También significa que no podrás comprar una experiencia de Certificado.

• ¿Qué recibiré si compro el Certificado?

  Cuando compras un Certificado, obtienes acceso a todos los materiales del curso, incluidas las tareas calificadas. Una vez que completes el curso, se añadirá tu Certificado electrónico a la página Logros. Desde allí, puedes imprimir tu Certificado o añadirlo a tu perfil de LinkedIn. Si solo quieres leer y visualizar el contenido del curso, puedes participar del curso como oyente sin costo.

• ¿Hay ayuda económica disponible?

  Sí. En ciertos programas de aprendizaje, puedes postularte para recibir ayuda económica o una beca en caso de no poder costear los gastos de la tarifa de inscripción. Si hay ayuda económica o becas disponibles para tu selección de programa de aprendizaje, verás un enlace para postularte en la página de descripción.

• What does this course cover?

  This course provides comprehensive instruction and resources for administrators and direct-care staff of assisted living communities on best practices for the response to COVID-19. Topics discussed include development of emergency preparedness plans, infection and outbreak prevention, staffing considerations, testing, and contact tracing. The course also covers strategies for communicating with stakeholders, promoting resident and staff well-being, and leveraging health departments and other agency resources.

• How can I enroll for free?

  Due to a generous grant, you can enroll in this course for free! The promotional price will be applied to your purchase automatically. You will need to enroll via a web browser on either a computer or a mobile device and not via the Coursera mobile app to enroll for the course and certificate for free. Unfortunately, the promotional price is not redeemable through the mobile app. If you have  paid for this course because you enrolled through the app, please contact Coursera’s Learner Service team to arrange for a refund.

  Please note the difference between auditing the course and enrolling for free. While both options cost nothing, “auditing” the course means you will not have access to the assessments nor will you be issued a certificate upon completion of the course. Choose the “Enroll for free” option to access the assessments and get a certificate upon completion. For a full explanation of all enrollment options, review the Enrollment Options article on Coursera’s Learner Help Center.

• Who should take this course and how should we incorporate it in training practices?

  This course is directed towards training administrators as well as direct-care staff in best practices to prepare and respond to outbreaks of COVID-19 in your assisted living community. It can be incorporated into training practices of staff and administrators as an important component of your community’s response to the pandemic.

• How quickly do I need to complete the course?

  There is no specific time interval in which this course must be completed. Each lecture is short and learning can be modified in order to address the specific needs of your community. The total estimated time to take the course is 10 hours.

• Can our community do contact tracing without notifying public health authorities once we complete this course?

  While this course can help identify first steps in contact tracing and who to prioritize for testing, quarantine, and isolation in your community, this needs to be performed as part of a coordinated initiative led by the appropriate public health authorities.

• Is this course a good place to get medical advice?
