Caregiver Personal Care

NorQuest College
Earners of the Family Caregiver- Assisting with Personal and Intimate Care Workshop have learnt how to adjust to changing roles within the family when the caregiver needs to assist with personal care such as bathing, dressing and incontinence care while still maintaining the dignity of the care recipient. They have also learnt effective communication, tools to assist, understand modifications for the recipient's’ abilities and observe health status to notify health care personnel of changes.
