Seeing a continued need for quality trained CNA'S in our neighboring county and having clients driving long distance to attend our program, A 2nd location in White Lake, on the beautiful campus of New Hope Home For the Aging was opened. This brand new site became state licensed in November of 2024. Which ever location meets your needs, we provide a relaxed atmosphere where students can learn without fear of judgement or failure..
