Hi, I am a community support worker in Australia. I have been loving this role for a number of years and am also the "tech guy" in our team of over 100 carers. One thing struck me over the years I have been in this role and that is that most of my fellow carers are relatively tech naive about tech that can empower or enrich our clients lives and also make our roles easier. Most "bluff" their way through tech questions and i have found myself training colleagues almost as much as i do clients. That's why i joined Skool, to bring awareness, discussion and education about current and emerging tech in aged and disability care to a larger audience. I have created my own skool, Assistive Care Technologies and am currently compiling video modules for prospective members. If you are interested in tech, a newbie with carer tech or an advanced tech savant. I would love to see you join the free community and join in the discussions around tech and its direction, impact and issues in the care arena. Thanks for your time Justin 🤓

The training area contains practical workshops, tools, and resources for working with seniors in home settings. These are unlocked through participation in the community. CareWell is built as a learning space, not a content feed. The more you engage in discussions and scenarios, the more resources become available to you. Start by introducing yourself and joining the conversations.

You have: - 2 meters of space - a chair - a walker - a resistance band - Your client is a deconditioned senior who gets tired quickly. How would you structure a simple, safe 30-minute session in this space? Share how you would approach it.

Most falls don’t happen during walking. They happen: - at night - in bathrooms - when patients are tired - when caregivers are not present From your experience, what patterns have you noticed inside homes that increase fall risk? Share one thing you’ve seen that others might overlook.

You enter the home of an 84-year-old recently discharged from hospital. They live alone. Use a cane. The bathroom is small. The family is worried. The patient feels weak but says, “I just need to walk more.” Before thinking about exercises… What are the first 3 things you look at inside the home? Comment what you would check first and why.
