In Michigan Adult Foster Care, food safety is not optional — it is a compliance requirement, a resident dignity issue, and a direct care competency that the Michigan Strategic Training Workgroup (STWG) expects every provider to address.
Food Safety in Specialized AFC Homes from Direct Care Training & Resource Center, Inc. delivers exactly that. This fully online, self-paced course was built for Michigan AFC direct care workers, group home supervisors, residential care staff, and community mental health support personnel who prepare, serve, and monitor meals for residents with complex health vulnerabilities.
Across seven structured chapters, staff learn the foundational skills that protect residents every single day — how foodborne illness spreads, proper handwashing using the STWG 50–60 second protocol, the temperature danger zone, cross-contamination prevention, safe thawing and reheating, kitchen injury prevention, food recall response, and expiration date standards. Every lesson is grounded in the STWG Four Pillars: Clean, Separate, Cook, Chill.
For administrators, this course supports onboarding documentation, annual training compliance, and the staff development requirements under Michigan’s consolidated AFC rules (R 400.601–R 400.745, effective November 3, 2025). For CMH providers, it aligns with MACMHB competency expectations for direct support professionals working in residential settings.
At just $69.95, it is a practical, affordable investment in the health and safety of every resident you serve.
