PimaCare at Home
Who said I fell? I’m not aging….
Raskob-Paulus Caregiver Skills Lab
Falling is not a normal part of aging, yet people assume as one ages it automatically increases the chances of falling for every older adult. As of today, there isn’t a step-by-step guide on how to age flawlessly or without injury, however over there years there has been increased awareness about aging safely. According to the National Council on Aging you can prevent falls by doing the right exercises, making your home safer, getting regular health checkups, and more. Part of healthy aging consists of educating oneself on topics such as: in home care assistance, falls prevention, communication with family/care team, and life care planning. Although this can be overwhelming there are resources available when you don’t know where to start or are not quite sure if you are ready. Places such as your Area Agency on Aging in this case for Pima County would be Pima Council on Aging can help you get started. Here you can find information on falls prevention classes, volunteering information, or even if in need of assistance with meals or in home care.

RASKOB - PAULUS CAREGIVER TRAINING SKILLS LAB
PimaCare at Home provides caregivers with training in our Raskob-Paulus Caregiver Skills Lab . Many times, people receive training in settings that do not resemble the actual work environment. Our skills lab is designed as a realistic home setting, providing a hands-on learning opportunity representative of what people may experience in their own homes. It is equipped with durable medical equipment (DME) and adaptive devices that can help people restore their independence, live with dignity, and remain safely in the comfort of their home. Using this skills lab and classroom, we provide caregivers with the highest quality of hands-on skills training combined with extensive caregiving knowledge, establishing a strong foundation for success for both the caregiver, their loved ones, and/or their future clients.
