Nurse & Caregiver Training
Why is there a need for nurse and caregiver training?
Caring for the elderly or those with disabilities can be an extremely rewarding experience. However, with nurses and caregivers working alone in the home setting, it can also be stressful as caregivers are often faced with new challenges and responsibilities.
Having a strong support system and relevant training, nurses and caregivers can have the confidence to provide care at home. Patients and their loved ones will also have a peace of mind, knowing that they will receive appropriate care at home.
Having worked with a number of nurses and caregivers, our physiotherapists are equipped to guide and train your nurses and caregivers to continue care for your loved ones in the comfort of your home.
Our physiotherapists will tailor the training according to your needs, and ensure that your nurses and caregivers continue to provide quality care, by checking in with them after training. These are some of the areas of training provided by our physiotherapists:
-
Mobility / walking
-
Transfers
-
Wheelchair use
-
Exercises – contracture prevention
-
Falls prevention – home environment assessment and modification, equipment advice
-
Respiratory care – chest percussion, suctioning
We will bring quality standards and care to your home. Contact our team today to arrange for training for your home care team.
