Caregiving Course

Professional caregivers assist with the non-medical tasks that a person cannot safely or comfortably do alone. Examples of the type of help usually provided by caregivers include:
 

Personal Care:

Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, toileting, transfers, positioning, exercise and medication reminders and assist.
 
 

Companionship:

Provide a listening ear, cheerful conversation, and a caring heart while working around the house, escorting and driving on trips to the doctor, hairdresser, house of worship, the home of a friend, or recreational outings.
 

Respite:

Fill in for a regular caregiver when they are unable to work due to illness, vacation, or simply need to take a break for some much needed time away.

Caregivers are not intended to replace medical professionals or family members. Certain medical tasks such as IV administration cannot be done by a Caregiver and must be done by a family member or qualified medical professional.
