Comfort Keepers Offering Skills Training for Family Member Care Givers
There is no question that the family home-care provider plays a major role in modern society. There are many elderly, sick or injured individuals that want to be able to stay in their own home, but are no longer able to care for themselves. As a result, family members are often thrust in to the position of care giver, in some cases without the proper training or experience. This can be dangerous if a person’s condition is serious, or requires special attention.
The good news is that now, not only can you utilize the professionally trained home-care workers from Comfort Keepers Santa Clarita, as a home care giver you can also come and learn from the Comfort Keepers Santa Clarita Skills Lab. This is a service that is offered at no charge to the public and will help family members providing care for someone with the basic skills for areas including:
- How to operate a mechanical lift properly and safely;
- Ambulation for a person that has had a stroke;
- The proper way to complete an occupied bed change without injuring yourself or the person in the bed.
Access to the Comfort Keepers Skills Lab in Santa Clarita is a small way that we are giving back to the community. Taking care of family members is a huge responsibility, and one we want to ensure you have the skills to handle. The fact is that many family members are providing this care with no real training out of necessity. Our services can help to improve the quality of life for you, as well as the person you are providing care for.
