TEACHING AND LEARNING TO CARE:
TRAINING FOR CAREGIVERS IN LONG-TERM CARE

TLC for LTC includes a total of eight modules. Six modules are self-contained instructional modules for teaching 20-30 minute sessions to direct care staff about risk and prevention, cognitive losses and associated behaviors, and palliative care. Each module includes all materials for conducting staff education as well as planning materials for the staff development educator, and handouts for participants. Although focused on clinical topics, these modules also incorporate attention to the use of quality improvement programs and methods. Two separate self-study modules are for staff development educators to enhance their knowledge and skills in education and in quality improvement. The ultimate goal of this series is to enable long-term care staff to improve care of the frail elderly through staff development, which in turn supports quality care.
