Legend Of Colorado Springs

Overview of Staff and Training

Our caregivers are trained by current staff members, and QMAPs (Qualified Medication Administration Personnel) are certified through the state. Training primarily consists of videos upon hire and is updated yearly as required by the state of Colorado.

Safety and Well-being Measures
