Webinar: Bathroom safety for home care providers - assisting seniors with bathing and toileting

Date: September 27, 2017 Presented by: Dr. Emily King Home caregivers experience high rates of injury related to client handling and mobility. Assisted bathing and toileting are among the most physically demanding and dangerous activities for care providers. Even when acute injuries are avoided, these activities can place providers at increased risk of developing MSD. This webinar will highlight the most challenging parts of assisting a frail senior to bathe and toilet, and discuss practical strategies for reducing risk. Because the physical environment and available resources in home care are highly variable, we will use a problem-solving approach to identifying and reducing risks rather than focusing on a single ‘optimal’ strategy for each task. This is a free webinar offered through the client/patient handling community of practice (CoP): https://uwaterloo.ca/centre-of-resear...
