About the course

Providing care in someone’s home is personal, powerful, and often more complex than it seems. You’re not just helping with tasks; you’re supporting a person’s dignity, safety, and ability to remain in the place they call home. Whether you're a PSW, caregiver, or healthcare aide, your role requires more than compassion. It takes real skill, strong observation, and professionalism that clients and families can count on. Excellence in Home Care is a specialized Canadian microcredential designed to help you feel confident, capable, and prepared for every visit. You’ll learn practical strategies for safe care, communication, hygiene, mobility, documentation, and how to create positive, person-centred experiences. From infection control and skin care to managing behaviours and knowing what to report, this course provides tools that matter and that employers value. Many caregivers enter home care without formal training in what makes home visits safe, organized, and respectful. You may wonder: Am I doing enough? What should I be noticing? How do I handle resistance or sensitive care tasks with dignity? This course answers those questions with clarity, compassion, and practical tools you can use right away. Built by Canadian healthcare educators and rooted in best practices, this course stands out because it is practical, realistic, and focused on the small things that make a big difference. You’ll complete the course with renewed confidence, a certificate for your resume, and strategies you can apply immediately in the field. Start today and elevate your home care practice with skills that support safety, trust, and joy—one visit at a time. ➡️ Enroll now and take the next step in your caregiving journey.
