Will I Need In-Home Support?
Raskob-Paulus Caregiver Skills Lab
When planning for retirement, many people tend to think about finances, life insurance, and other important needs. However, what many of us fail to consider is what one will need to be able to age in place safely. Preparing for what should be a gratifying chapter in one’s life can become unanticipated frustration and stress when unprepared. These are just some of the factors to consider when planning: • Are there medical conditions you foresee needing additional assistance with? • Is your home equipped with durable medical equipment or will you need to acquire it? • Do you need assistance with light housekeeping or standby assistance when showering? • Will your family be involved in your age-in-place long term planning or will they need training if they will be participating directly in your care? It is never too early to start planning. Reaching out to your Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is the best place to begin. PimaCare at Home (PCAH), a program of Pima Council on Aging (Pima
County’s AAA), specializes in creating an individualized care plan tailored to meet your needs. We provide free in-home assessments with you and your family to ensure your environment meets the requirements to safely receive care. PCAH assists with: • personal care • meal preparation • medication reminders • standby assistance • companionship • running errands • light housekeeping PCAH also provides training for direct care workers and caregivers. Whether you need short or long-term assistance now or you’re planning for the future, we can help! Call us today for a free in-home assessment to create a care plan to meet your needs. (520) 305-3445
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.
