What will I learn?
This free course equips you with practical skills to support older people with confidence. You will learn about key changes that come with age, common long-term illnesses, mental health checks, and safe handling of medicines using tools to reduce unnecessary drugs. You will build good communication skills, adjust to sensory or thinking challenges, prevent falls in the home, and create small, evidence-based plans to promote health that boost safety, self-reliance, and better living for the elderly.
