The Caregiver Training Manual: A 40-Hour Caregiver Training Program - is a comprehensive compilation of training modules designed to assist Caregivers in the delivery of quality care to seniors by understanding their needs and challenges and by recognizing and reacting to their various tribulations and personalities.
The training manual is comprised of 14 sections, which collectively address:
- Introduction to Home Care and the Senior Client
- Common Health Problems in Seniors
- Confusion and Dementias in Seniors
- Communicating with Seniors
- Working with Seniors Living with Disabilities
- Caring for Terminally Ill Seniors
- Working With Challenging Behaviors
- Providing Personal Care to Seniors
- Meeting the Nutritional Needs of Seniors
- Health and Safety
- Basics of Emergency Care
- Infection Control
- Appendix: Caregiver Skills Check and Demonstrations
- Quizzes and Final Examination
The manual is a vital “tool kit” filled with the knowledge, skills, procedures, tips and techniques needed to provide effective home care service. As such, it is as important to Caregivers as hammers and saws are to carpenters. It provides trainings on how Caregivers can help seniors in stressful situations by ensuring they are acting and reacting in a manner, which is appropriate and beneficial to the senior and the circumstance.
Caregivers, who are new to the profession, will find this manual to be informative and interesting. Experienced Caregivers will also benefit because, first of all, it will serve as a refresher course; and, secondly, it should substantially expand their knowledge and give them a clearer understanding of what is happening, why it is happening, and how it might be handled.
The 40-hour core curriculum provides the basis for all the paraprofessional curricula: Home Care Aides, Personal Care Aides, and In-Home Care Aides. The Caregiver Training Manual curriculum contains standard written tests that may be used in combination with procedural Caregiver Skills Check and Demonstration to determine the Caregiver’s successful completion of each module.
