What is it?
The Virtual Home-Based Homecare Curriculum, previously known as the CACE Homecare Curriculum, covers the topics of delirium, dementia, and depression in the context of providing at-home care to seniors. With a case and Personal Support Worker for each topic, the course utilizes videos, regular check-ins and small quizzes, as well as a couple sections of reading to help a variety of homecare workers be better prepared to provide collaborative and effective care.
