Have you ever felt like your staff just aren't getting it? Before you decide they're the problem, take a step back and look at the training they're receiving.

Do they understand your facility's expectations? Do they know their responsibilities? Have they been taught how to handle the situations they're expected to manage?

You can't assume someone knows how to do something simply because they were hired for the position. Staff need proper training, clear expectations, and an understanding of what's required of them.

In residential care, training is an important part of preparing staff to carry out their responsibilities and support the people in their care.

At So Cal Training Team, we offer training for residential care professionals.

**Facility owners and administrators: how do you approach training new staff at your facility?**

10/12/2026

One of the biggest mistakes a facility can make when hiring is choosing someone simply because there’s a shift that needs to be covered.

We understand the pressure. You need staff, someone applies, they pass a background check, and they’re available to work. It can feel like the easiest solution is to get them on the schedule.

But have you stopped to ask whether they can actually do the job well?

In residential care, staffing decisions affect the people who live in your facility, the rest of your team, and the day-to-day operation of the home.

You need people who are dependable, patient, professional, and prepared to take their responsibilities seriously. Passing a background check is important, but it doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about someone’s ability to do the job.

**Filling a shift solves an immediate problem. Hiring the right person helps build a stronger team.**

Facility owners, what do you look for when deciding whether someone is the right fit for your team?

Sunday Business Check-In

This week, we talked about understanding Title 22, Division 6 General Regulations, why definitions matter, and what it really takes to be an administrator.

One important reminder: you don’t have to memorize every line of a regulation. You need to understand what you’re reading and know where to look when you need an answer.

We also shared a resource for both job seekers and employers. Visit socaltrainingteamjobs.com to search for opportunities or post your open positions.

Now let’s hear from you: **Which topic do you want us to cover more of?** Regulations, facility operations, or administrator responsibilities?

Drop it in the comments.

Have you ever heard someone talk about an administrator as if they don’t have much to do? Let’s talk about that.

An administrator plays a major role in how a residential care facility operates. They’re responsible for overseeing the operation, keeping up with compliance, managing staff responsibilities, making sure documentation is handled properly, and helping ensure the facility meets the needs of the people it serves.

That’s a lot more than just holding a position.

If you’re working toward becoming an administrator, take the time to understand what the role requires in the real world. Knowing the qualifications is important, but understanding the responsibilities is just as important.

Have you ever read a regulation and wondered what a particular word or phrase actually means in that context?

That’s one reason Article 1 is so important.

The general definitions help establish the foundation for understanding the rest of the regulations. Before you can apply a rule correctly, you need to understand the terminology behind it and what the regulation is actually saying.

Section 80000 addresses general definitions and requirements for community care facilities, while specific requirements can vary depending on the type of facility and any applicable exceptions.

This clip is from our General Licensing training, available on YouTube. Take the time to learn the foundation, because understanding the language makes it easier to navigate the regulations when questions come up.

Here’s something to keep in mind when you’re learning regulations:

You don’t have to memorize every single line.

What matters is knowing the regulations well enough to understand how they’re organized and where to find the information you need when a question comes up.

And depending on the type of facility you operate, there may be additional requirements specific to that facility type.

That’s why we’re going to continue covering these regulations and different facility types in future trainings, including ARFs, elderly facilities, group homes, STRTPs, and more.

The goal is not to make you memorize a book.

The goal is to help you know what you’re looking for and where to find it.

This is a clip from our Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 1 training. The full training is available on YouTube.

If you’ve worked in residential care for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard someone say, “Check Title 22.”

But what happens when you actually open it up and start reading through the regulations?

That’s where things can get a little more complicated.

In this training, we’re taking the time to walk through Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 1 and break down the regulations instead of just throwing the title around.

This clip gives you a look at part of the training.

If you want to follow the full breakdown, the complete training is available on our YouTube channel.
