Caregiver Trainer Jean Mueller, RN has over 30 years of caregiving experience, both personally and professionally.

Jean understands the unique challenges of providing care for family members and can offer practical solutions to many issues caregivers face. 

We hold one day classes as well as shorter workshops that focus on a specific area of caregiving. Topics that are covered in the training include moving, lifting and transferring techniques, incontinence issues and infection control. 

Classes are held in a variety of locations throughout Dane County.

Family Caregiver Practical Skills Workshop
Many people become caregivers overnight without having the basic skills to safely care for their spouses, parents or other older adults who return home from a few weeks or months in a nursing home rehabilitation facility. The home may not be set up with adaptive equipment like safety bars and rails to make the home safe. Caregivers risk injury to themselves and their care receiver if they lift or position improperly.

In this workshop you’ll receive hands-on instruction and learn how to move, lift and transfer properly, how to minimize falls and how to control infections. The $20.00 fee includes take home materials and refreshments. Scholarships are available.
