Course Overview

Mobility challenges are one of the most common and critical aspects of eldercare. A simple transfer, an incorrect bed position, or a missed fall risk can quickly turn into serious injury or long-term complications.

This micro-course equips caregivers with safe mobility techniques, correct body mechanics, and preventive care practices that protect both the elder and the caregiver. It focuses on dignity, confidence, and injury prevention — not rushing or force.

When mobility is handled right, independence lasts longer.
