continuum of care, and it is not exclusive to nursing attendants with

Baccalaureate degrees. There is both a generalist and a specialist gerontological
f f f f f f f f f f
nursing certification. The generalist functions in a variety of settings providing
f f f f f f f f f f
care to older adults and their families. The specialist has advanced gerontological
