Caregiver Training Videos –

Links to YouTube

 

People learn in many different ways, but viewing the performance of a task multiple times promotes the recall of steps through repetition. Therefore, I searched YouTube for caregiver training videos that demonstrated professional caregivers performing tasks that home caregivers might need to perform.

Some procedures have multiple ways of doing them. If you received training using a different method, continue to use what you know. I am not advocating that one method is better than another nor am I promising that any video portrays the latest technique or has no errors. My purpose for providing this information is

  • to make the information available to you as a resource if you need it
  • to show you an example of how the procedure is performed, and
  • to answer your questions about the guidelines if you have any.

I hope you will find these examples useful.  If you find a broken link, please send me an email to reconnect it. Thank you.
