Follow on Google News | Utopia Home Care Offers Free Caregiver Training at Westbury and Riverhead Offices on October 13A Community Service to Help you Care for your Aging, Ailing or Disabled Loved Ones
By: PRMG “There is a steadily growing need to teach people the skills required to take on the responsibilities of being a caregiver for members of their own family,” said Diane Martinez, Executive Vice President, Utopia Home Care. “Our goal as a company is to allow patients to be cared for at home, rather than at a nursing home or other facility. Most people prefer the comforts and familiar surroundings of their own home. Providing free caregiver training is an extension of that mission and will help to ensure that caregivers have the necessary training to properly address the home health care needs of their loved ones.” Four topics will be covered: Session 1: 9:30-11:00am -- Ambulating with a person, cane, or walker Session 2: 11:00am-12:30pm -- Transfers: bed to wheelchair and back, wheelchair to toilet and back Session 3: 1:30-3:00pm -- Turning and Positioning, skin & incontinent care, and use of bedpan & urinal Session 4: 3:00-4:30pm -- Use of a Hoyer Lift * Please note that the purpose of the training is to gain personal skills. No certificates will be given. Scheduled dates are subject to change. Classes are monthly and are rotated among five of Utopia’s six Long Island locations. Please call to register for a training class and directions. Caregivers can attend one, or more, or all the sessions.
