Carers require both capacity and competency to deal with the increasing care requirements in Residential care. The moving and transferring of people is potentially a hazardous task and requires a skill set that is attained through In-Person competency based training. Lift Less not only delivers that skill set but also “Empowers a Safe Care Partnership”.
Manual Handling Training is often offered as a do-it-once, compliance exercise. Many training organisations offer generic programs based on generic care scenarios. Aged Care is anything but generic. It requires a specialised, customised approach that teaches best practices in Safely Moving People, while ensuring caregiver safety.
