A Higiene da Pessoa Idosa (NAU)

Offered by Prime Senior,
A Higiene da Pessoa Idosa (NAU)

O curso A Higiene da Pessoa Idosa vai abordar boas práticas sobre a forma mais eficaz de realizar a higiene de uma pessoa, independentemente do seu grau de dependência. A Higiene da Pessoa Idosa é importante na saúde, conforto e qualidade de vida. Pretendemos dar-lhe boas práticas, conselhos e novas ferramentas a colocar em prática durante os cuidados. Prevê-se que num futuro muito próximo Portugal seja um país envelhecido. O envelhecimento não seria preocupação, se na maioria dos casos, o mesmo não fosse acompanhado por algum grau de dependência.

As pessoas envelhecem e ficam mais frágeis, necessitando de ajuda para conseguirem satisfazer as suas necessidades básicas, logo é necessário que os cuidadores se preparem da melhor forma possível.

A Prime Senior irá acompanhar e responder às suas dúvidas durante e após o curso, porque sabemos que é durante a colocação dos conteúdos em prática que as dúvidas surgem.
Rentabilize o seu tempo e os recursos disponíveis em prol do bem-estar da pessoa que necessita dos seus cuidados.
