How these are calculated.

Trains nurse aides: this home runs a state-approved CNA program for its own hires (state list: NYS DOH Nurse Aide Training Programs (nursing homes), as of October 1, 2026). A nursing home cannot charge aides it employs, or has offered a job, for state-approved training (42 CFR 483.152(c)).
