This course prepares community health workers and caregivers to provide dignified, compassionate care to elderly individuals, balancing practical caregiving skills with emotional support and social inclusion.
Elderly care in resource-constrained settings often falls to community health workers and family caregivers with minimal training, potentially leaving elderly individuals isolated, neglected, or handled without dignity. This five-day course builds practical caregiving skills for community-based elderly care: basic health and hygiene support, recognizing signs of abuse or neglect, providing emotional and social support alongside physical care, and connecting elderly individuals to community support. Participants examine dignity and rights-based approaches to elderly care.
Hands-on sessions include practicing basic care procedures, role-playing difficult caregiving situations, and building an elderly care support plan for a community setting. Participants leave with practical skills and a commitment to compassionate, rights-respecting elderly care.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
