This question regarding the Food Handler Card is still floating around and as of yet there is no clear answer. Some have said that RCFE's are exempt from the requirement while others suggest it is a Health Department issue. The truth is, until either CCLD or the Health Department make a statement on the matter we are uncertain. Our position at Community Care Options is to stress the importance of detailed training for your food staff. While it may not be a requirement yet, it may be wise to have your staff trained and assessed in the same way as the retail food service community. Training of this caliber is also a great marketing tool for those facilities who serve in a restaurant style. Tell us your thoughts on Facebook. Click here to leave your feedback.
