A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) plays an important role in supporting those with medical needs. Through Colorado’s Parent and Family CNA program, parents and relatives can now take on this meaningful role, caring for loved ones at home while gaining valuable skills and earning fair compensation. At Voyager Home Health Care, we guide families every step of the way to help them succeed in this journey.
Families often know their loved ones better than anyone else. Through the Family Certified Nurse Aide program, parents or relatives can become trained caregivers while remaining at home. This approach keeps children comfortable, reduces stress, and allows for personalized attention.
We support families across the state with same-day assessments and round-the-clock assistance to make the process smooth and approachable.
To begin, your child must qualify for Health First Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program. This program offers free or low-cost health coverage for eligible residents. Qualification depends on household income and family size.
For instance, a single adult’s monthly income limit is $1,507, while a child in a four-person family may qualify with up to $3,284 per month. You can check eligibility or apply online through the official Colorado PEAK website.
Next, eligibility for CNA support must be determined through the Pediatric Assessment Tool (PAT), completed by a licensed home health professional. We take care of this process for families, guaranteeing all requirements for CNA, CHCBS, or IHSS programs are clearly explained and easy to complete. This helps parents focus on caregiving rather than paperwork.
To qualify as a Parent Certified Nurse Aide, you must complete a state-approved CNA training program. We are proud to operate one of Colorado’s highest-rated CNA schools, designed to fit your schedule and pace.
Our CNA course includes:
The full program requires 75 hours and can be completed in as little as two weeks. Our instructors guide you through each step until you pass both the written and clinical exams required by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies.
To receive payment as a Family CNA or Parent CNA, you must be officially employed by a home health agency. When you join our team at Voyager Home Health Care, you become part of a professional care network that supports you around the clock.
We help you balance your roles as a caregiver and parent by teaching you how to separate medical responsibilities from family time without stress or confusion.
We are proud to deliver among the highest-paying programs in the state, with rates of $18 per hour for approved Health Maintenance Activities and $20 per hour under CHCBS.
Families appreciate our quick communication, accurate documentation, and flexible scheduling. Through our IHSS, CHCBS, and Family CNA programs, we help families create a path that balances caregiving, financial stability, and emotional connection.
