Senior Helpers Center of Excellence

As long-time members of the senior care community, Senior Helpers Memphis has always seen the need for better, more comprehensive training for people working with seniors.  They also know that professional caregivers usually have a passion for learning and improving their skills. The Senior Helpers Center of Excellence in Caregiving was born from this need.  Senior Helpers Memphis soon realized the community could benefit as well.  As a result, they set out to create an environment where anyone can upskill to meet the needs of our senior population.

One-on-One Family Training Sessions

Are you caring for a friend or loved one? Is he or she aging and needs extra help? Do you ever wish you had access to training to help you be a better caregiver? Look no further. Senior Helpers Memphis has rolled out our One-on-One Training Sessions for families where you will get to work with our professional caregiver trainer, have your questions answered, and learn new skills to care for your loved one.

The Center of Excellence is a training space designed as a realistic simulation of a client’s home. Training occurring here helps caregivers identify hazardous items, learn more about the safety of a client’s home, and demonstrate the proper use of durable medical equipment (DME), so caregivers can better assist with mobility, transfers, bathing, and toileting assistance.

This unique and innovative space is designed to support interactive training and education opportunities for our caregivers, family caregivers, and industry professionals. The center is located within our Senior Helpers office, with a focus on the highest risks areas, such as the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
