SafeCaregiver Family Training

Join us in person for a fun, friendly session where you'll learn the essentials to keep your loved ones safe and supported. This training is perfect for families wanting practical tips and confidence-building skills.

Led by a Registered Nurse, our training covers common conditions affecting older adults, including stroke, dementia, physical disabilities, and pressure ulcer (bed sore) prevention. Participants learn practical caregiving skills, including safe transfers, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), and strategies to prevent skin breakdown.

Come connect, ask questions, and gain hands-on experience in a relaxed setting. We’re excited to help you become the best caregiver you can be!
