Personal Care

In this program, we examine why personal care is important and how to provide it safely and considerably. Appropriate for home health agencies, hospices, community service agencies and others that train professional and family caregivers.
All of us develop our own routines for bathing, brushing teeth and caring for our bodies early in life. These habits give us a sense of well being, security and comfort. Allowing someone else to provide care may be stressful. It is important to provide personal care in a way that honors an individual's preferences and dignity.
After viewing this program, you will understand the principles that apply to personal care procedures and how to perform procedures safely and effectively.
