Supporting Clients and The Community With One to One Family Training

In June we launched our One to One Family Training with the objective to support clients and their families and loved ones even when Right at Home is not present, we know how important it is for our clients and families to feel empowered and independent.

Training Families and Organisations

After a popular launch and great feedback we can now offer this service to teams and organisations in the local communities, sharing our knowledge and experience to benefit our partners, network and support groups.

Right at Home can offer One to One Family Training in clients homes, organistation offices or even at our own office, depending on the size of the group and the content of the session itself. Each session in the training series is facilitated by one of our experienced and friendly team. The training sessions you can choose to benefit from currently include; Moving and Handling, Dementia Knowledge and Continence.
