Phoenix Home Care Company Partners with Online Training Program to Provide Training and Education to Family Caregivers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) October 14, 2011 -- Phoenix, AZ October 15, 2011 – Generations at Home Wellness Care has released an online training tool for family caregivers. This FREE resource is specifically designed for family members who provide any type of direct care or support. The courses can be accessed via the internet and do not require attending classes.

The training program has over 40 hours of training using highly engaging training courses, covering topics like Alzheimer’s and memory care, medications, ethics, personal care and mobility as well as basic companion care. It also utilizes best practices in e-learning, making this training available to the family members online, at a time and place most convenient for their learning.

According to the Family Caregiver Alliance more than 50 million families and friends provide care to an elderly or disabled adult. “Caring and compassion are the most important traits of a caregiver,” notes Mr. Atkinson. “But just compassion isn’t enough. Knowledge and training can prevent skin breakdown and maintain walking skills, for example.”

To achieve this, Generations has partnered with a leader in caregiver training, aQuire Training Solutions, to provide more than 40 hours of caregiver training to any friend or family providing care. “We know people have busy lives. Learning, especially for busy adults, happens best when they control the time, place and intensity of their training. The Family Learning Center gives families much more control over their own learning and skill development, helping build a standard of care their loved ones deserve.”
