Hands-On Caregiving

Providing Care with Confidence

 

To address the needs of people caring for their sick, frail or debilitated loved ones at home, Hospice of Northwest Ohio has created a FREE workshop. Many people tell us that they feel ill-prepared to handle the challenges of the physical care that is required of them in the home.

This two-hour workshop co-sponsored by the Area Office on Aging, held at varying times and locations, will help caregivers learn to provide care with confidence. Through discussion and interactive demonstrations, family caregivers will learn tips to enhance the way they provide these care needs:

Bathing              Making an occupied bed              Hand hygiene
Oral care            Transfer techniques                    Skin care
Positioning          Ambulation                                Nail care
Back rubs            Feeding                                    Foot care
                         Incontinence care

Please call 419-931-5356 for more information, to register or to find out when additional workshops are scheduled.
