Power up your knowledge on Personal Hygiene!
Personal hygiene involves keeping our bodies clean to maintain a pleasant appearance, boost morale, and prevent the spread of germs. While many people integrate good hygiene into their daily routines, older adults often face challenges like limited mobility or lack of energy, making it harder to maintain hygiene. Caregivers can help with hygiene to ensure comfort and health. However, without proper knowledge and skills, assisting seniors can be emotionally and physically challenging, leading to issues like skin infections, bad breath, and body odor.
The Personal Hygiene Assistant Training Course equips caregivers with essential skills for providing personal care and grooming assistance to elderly clients. They will learn the importance of personal hygiene, how to respect clients' rights and privacy, and how to ensure safety and comfort.
