Posted on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024
“Empowering Care: Bridging Knowledge for Carefor Support Workers” is a project that partners with Carefor, which is Eastern Ontario’s largest not-for-profit home care and community support services registered charity. Carefor offers holistic home care and community support services, as well as working in collaboration with Innercity Health to serve the unhoused adult community in Ottawa. The focus for this project was to develop tailored educational modules that address key gaps in knowledge and skill for community client care workers. The modules focus on the topics of diabetes management, ostomy care, catheter care, Naloxone and medication administration and wound care. The overall goal of these educational modules is to enhance safety and knowledge to improve the quality of care provided to Carefor’s underhoused clients.”
