Strengthening Skills in Cleaning, Nutrition, and Meal Preparation: Outcomes of a Training Program for Direct Care Workers

While training regarding clinical issues in elder care has been widely delivered, minimal efforts have been developed for those workers providing non-personal care services in the home. "Strengthening Skills in Cleaning, Nutrition, and Meal Preparation" describes the development, delivery, and evaluation of the Home Skills Enhancement Project for direct care workers in Michigan focusing on skill building in three areas: household cleaning, nutrition/food shopping and, meal preparation. A link to the article is included below.

Curricula modules have been developed in these three areas and will be posted when available. Curricula modules described are:

Cleaning the Homes of Older Adults
Meal Planning and Shopping for Older Adults
Meal Preparation and Food Safety for Older Adults
