Why Personal & Pressure Care Training Matters:
Personal care, including activities such as bathing, dressing, and toileting, is essential for maintaining individuals’ dignity, hygiene, and overall well-being. Additionally, pressure care is crucial for preventing pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, which can develop when individuals are confined to a bed or chair for extended periods. By providing caregivers with comprehensive training in personal and pressure care, we empower them to deliver person-centered care that promotes comfort, dignity, and skin integrity.
