The Center of Excellence is a training space designed as a realistic simulation of a client’s home. Training occurring here helps caregivers identify hazardous items, learn more about the safety of a client’s home, and demonstrate the proper use of durable medical equipment (DME), so caregivers can better assist with mobility, transfers, bathing, and toileting assistance.
This unique and innovative space is designed to support interactive training and education opportunities for our caregivers, family caregivers, and industry professionals. The center is located within our Senior Helpers office, with a focus on the highest risks areas, such as the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
For Caregivers:
New caregivers undergo a detailed orientation process in the Center of Excellence, including a hands-on skills assessment. Current caregivers receive specialized skills training and exercises that they feel confident and knowledgeable in the support they provide to our clients.
For Families:

Educational talks and support groups are available to families to help them better understand their loved one’s diagnosis and feel supported.
