PimaCare at Home
Raskob-Paulus Caregiver Skills Lab
As the warmer weather arrives with spring, we start to see an increase in events and outdoor activities. Although sometimes folks find themselves holding back because there are situations where they might need extra help. This could be due to needing help with balance to walk around the park or standby assistance when going to a community event or simply going outside to enjoy some fresh air, people many times stay back. Having to ask for assistance or feeling embarrassed isolates adults. How can we help keep adults active and yet safe? Independence and safety are what we strive for and focus on at PimaCare at Home. We listen to the clients and families in order to capture the events and joys that most impact
each individual, while building a care plan that meets their needs and allows them to remain independent in their own home safely. PimaCare at Home Direct Care Workers can provide assistance with personal care, bathing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, medical accompaniment and companionship. We encourage all adults to remain active and to socialize, understanding the short or long-term reality that there comes a time when all of us find ourselves in need of assistance. As one ages, there tends to be increased social isolation and withdrawal. This is why we are extra excited for May as we observe and commemorate Older Americans Month, bringing awareness and life to aging.
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.
