Webinars
Description
As the demands on caregivers continue to grow, social service professionals play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of both caregivers and care recipients when working with older adults and their families.
This training is designed to empower social workers and caregivers to assess, develop and customize care plans to support the unique needs and preferences of older adults in their care. Learn to assess the challenges, create a care plan to address the problems, and implement and/or monitor the care plan solutions as needed.
The program will include a review of the importance of safety measures at home via a safety audit, and implementing fall prevention strategies. We will also consider long-term care planning, initiating conversations with family members about future care preferences, exploring available care options, and creating a comprehensive care plan. A Case Study will address the need for comprehensive caregiver assessments and equips professionals with the skills to provide tailored support to a very demanding family caregiver. The interactive training will encourage participants to share caregiving challenges in a supportive environment to facilitate peer learning as well as build skills and competencies in assessing the needs of care recipients.
