Infection Control For Caregivers

Have you heard the saying “cleanliness is next to godliness?”

The popular proverb can be found in ancient Hebrew and Babylonian texts but was coined by John Wesley in 1778 and highlights the importance of having measures in place to keep the environment where you care for your loved one or client clean. For example, routinely disinfecting the living space where your client receives care and washing your hands properly can prevent the spread of illness-causing bacteria and viruses.

 How to differentiate between bacteria and viruses, as the two are often mistaken for one another.

•  Conditions that promote the growth of bacteria.
•  How to effectively use hand sanitizers and healthy ways to disinfect your client’s or loved one’s living space.
•  Who is at greatest risk for developing bacterial or viral infections, including common symptoms and  treatments.
•  Tips on application and safe removal of gloves, effective handwashing, prevention of the transmission of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and keeping client safe.

Our courses are designed to help you meet your continuing education requirements as listed in 42 CFR 484.36 which means they are appropriate for family members, unlicensed caregivers, and direct care workers employed by Home Care and Assisted Living providers.

Our Infection Control Certification course equips caregivers with the knowledge and skills to keep clients safe from harmful pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and influenza.
