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 🤓

Welcome to CareWell Academy. This community is about one thing: learning how to work safely and effectively with seniors in their homes. Not clinics. Not textbooks. Real houses. Real situations. Before jumping into posts, take a moment to introduce yourself in the comments: 1️⃣ Where are you located? 2️⃣ What is your role? (RA, caregiver, PT, kin, nurse, student, etc.) 3️⃣ Do you currently work in home or community care? 4️⃣ What is the biggest challenge you face when working with seniors at home? You’ll notice most discussions here are based on real home-visit scenarios, practical problem solving, and shared experience from different care systems around the world. This is a place to ask questions, share situations, and learn from how others approach similar problems. Looking forward to learning about your work and experiences.

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.
