Care Partner Class
Oh My Aching Back:
Learn to Safely Assist a Loved One
Tues, May 21 • 1:30-3 pm at Trailside
Caring for someone who requires assistance to safely get in and out of bed or a chair, use the restroom or walk can put your back in jeopardy. It is easier to prevent a back injury than to fix one. Attend “Oh My Aching Back!” to learn how to protect your back, while more safely assisting someone under your care. We will also practice using a gait belt, learn ways to transfer someone to a chair, bed or bath tub, and review how to use assistive devices, such as canes and wheelchairs.
*For all caregiver classes, if you are caring for another person and are not previously registered with Senior Services as a caregiver, please plan to arrive a few minutes early for registration.
Respite scholarships may be available. If requesting respite care, notify when registering.
