Elderly Care Course

The Elderly Care Course is Coming Soon. Please do not register for this course.

The Journey

Do you have what it takes to be an excellent caregiver? You need to have a passion for helping others and enjoy seeing another person heal, feel comfort and enjoy life again. Most importantly, you should not expect to be rewarded immediately for your good work. Instead, be happy to help your client and take joy in the fact that you are making his/her life easier.  Rewards are always given by the Universe but only at the right time. Rewards are not just financial gains but also the satisfaction of making the world a better place by performing your duties with a willing and happy heart.

You must have empathy, patience, diligence, endurance, discipline, and respect. These are the attributes that are synonymous with the word “caregiver” or “nurse.”

In this course, you will learn the crucial skills of caregiving, adapt your attitude to that of a willing servant and learn that life is a circle. Nothing you do will go unseen, even if you think otherwise. Remember that the journey you take as a nurse is as challenging as it is rewarding.

Why is elderly care special?

The word geriatric comes from the Greek word geras meaning “old age” or the science of aging. Old age cannot be defined as people do not grow old at the same rate. The consensus is somewhere in the mid-70s.  The lifestyle that you live will influence the way you age. Genetics also play a role in the way that we age.  This course is designed to help you understand your role in helping the elderly care for themselves in the best possible way. You will learn activities of daily living and engage with the elderly to smooth out the road ahead.

Included will be a bonus section: Chapter 8: Bedridden clients – Comprehensive

In this journey, you will open the door to a new adventure that will broaden your horizons.

I have compiled this course with many essential factors in mind.

I hope you will enjoy the process and love applying the insights that this course will offer you.

Bon Voyage and happy learning.
