EasyCEU Announces Six New Nationally Approved Continuing Education Courses

Oregon City, OR, April 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- EasyCEU.com announced this week six new online administrator continuing education courses from noted senior care expert, Benjamin Pearce. These new courses include:
· Assisted Living: Changing the Face of Long Term Care
· Building Management Skills
· Caregiver Stress and Burnout
· Malnutrition in the Elderly
· The Many Faces of Dementia

Pearce, currently the President and CEO of Potomac Homes Inc. in Ramsey, New Jersey, is a former director of the National Association of Senior Living Industries (NASLI) and the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA). He is the author of the Senior Living Communities: Operations Management and Marketing for Assisted Living, Congregate and Continuing-Care Retirement Communities (The Johns Hopkins University Press), currently in its second edition, widely recognized as an authoritative work in the field.

Pearce teaches graduate level classes on senior housing and is a faculty member of the Real Estate Institute at New York University and Johns Hopkins University. He also serves on the editorial advisory boards of Resident Life/Assisted Living Success magazine, Briefings on Assisted Living, and Assisted Living Executive Report.

Pearce has contributed many courses to EasyCEU’s catalogue of over 170 online course hours designed specifically for administrators of nursing homes (NHA) and assisted living communities, as well as RNs, LVNs, Social Workers and Family Therapists who work with the elderly.

EasyCEU.com offers courses on a variety of subjects through an easy-to-use online format, also known as e-learning. Learners simply register and choose a username and password that gives them access to their courses day or night, wherever they have internet access. When learners have completed a course, they can immediately print out a certificate from the website.

All EasyCEU courses are accredited by the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB). Courses are approved for nursing home administrators, assisted living administrators, RNs, LCSW and MFTs throughout the U.S. EasyCEU courses are also approved for Kansas Adult Care Home Administrators (KDHE) and California RCFE and ARF administrators.

High national unemployment rates and financial purse-tightening by nearly all sectors of society has led to a significant increase in the number of individuals who are turning to online learning as an alternative to attending costly conferences or training sessions. EasyCEU’s course sales reflect this trend, as licensed senior care professionals seek to renew their licenses and add to their skills. The company’s focus on quality, prompt customer support as well as engaging online courses has made it a leader in online continuing education for the senior care field.
