Why we do it

There are over 45,000,000 family caregivers in the United States.

The healthcare industry continues to ask family caregivers to take on greater responsibility in the care of their loved ones.

We believe that we should be preparing family caregivers for that responsibility.

Our goal is to empower family caregivers with the skills they need to care for the ones they love.

Our Philosophy

Communication

We coach our caregivers in effective ways to communicate with their loved ones. Communication during care can build trust, credibility and set proper expectations. Prior to beginning any transfer or action we remind our students to clearly explain what the plan is.

Technique

Learning proper body mechanics and transfer technique are a critical aspect of our program. Our students will learn by doing. Students will perform transfers in the classroom under the supervision of the instructor. They will receive feedback and identify ways to improve until their technique is sound.

Repeatability

Our goal is to prepare family caregivers with the skills they need to deliver care for their loved ones. Once the proper technique and communication skills are established they should be able to repeat the skills and deliver the care necessary for their family members.
