In collaboration with the Institute for Change Leaders, an initiative of Ryerson University’s Faculty of Community Services, we are facilitating a Care Companion Training Program to train individuals to provide less intensive, non-medical type services such as providing basic help with chores and appointments and alleviating loneliness, to older adults and people in need living in the community.
The program comprises of 6 units including role of Care Companion, working with older adults and families, meal preparation, household management, providing optimal support, and health and safety. The program will be online and available for Toronto/Vancouver Cantonese-/Mandarin-speaking participants.
