Course Outline
Everything you need — nothing you don't
Twelve carefully sequenced modules take you from the foundations of elderly care through to advanced, specialist practice. Each module is written in clear, accessible language — no prior medical background required.
Care Plan
Build individualised, evidence-based care plans that put each elder's needs, preferences, and goals at the very centre.
Aging Ailments
Understand the chronic and acute conditions most common in old age — from arthritis and hypertension to dementia and frailty.
Nutrition
Plan and prepare nourishing meals for older adults, managing dietary restrictions, swallowing difficulties, and hydration.
Effective Communication
Speak, listen, and respond with patience and clarity — building trust with elders, families, and the wider care team.
Emergency Falls
Prevent falls before they happen and respond confidently when they do — protecting both the elder and yourself.
First Aid
Master the life-saving basics: CPR, choking response, wound care, stroke recognition, and when to call for help.
Fundamental Skills
The everyday techniques every professional caregiver relies on — from safe transfers and positioning to vital-sign checks.
Legal Ethics & Privacy
Protect every client's rights and dignity, understand professional boundaries, and stay on the right side of the law.
Observation
Sharpen your eye for the subtle changes that signal something is wrong — and learn to report them clearly and early.
Hygiene
Support bathing, grooming, oral care and incontinence management with skill, gentleness, and unwavering respect.
Medication Management
Safely organise, administer, and monitor prescribed medications — spotting side effects and interactions before they escalate.
Cultural Difference
Care across Nigeria's many cultures, faiths, and languages — honouring each elder's traditions while delivering world-class care.
