FAQ's

Where will the training happen?

Depending on what is required and how much benefit you would like to achieve. We would welcome your caregiver to attend our class, and buddy up with another nurse in the field to look after several patients to get practical skills, and then we do follow-up visits in your home. The ideal situation is we do a combination
of classroom and practical sessions. Your caregiver will be assigned a trainor, and can call the trainor for any questions at any time during the first 8 weeks.

Have you trained home maids before? The language barrier?

Yes- we have had families who have hired new maids and we were able to train them to measure blood sugars and administer insulin. They also were able to measure blood pressure, administer medications and were able to recognize low blood pressure and call for help at the right time. Our training method uses simple teaching. Our nursing staff are culturally diverse and can communicate effectively.
