Get the free training you deserve. Give the best care they deserve.
If you care for an aging loved one, you can get the skills and knowledge you need to increase your confidence, reduce their hospital and ER visits, and improve their health outcomes. And it won't cost you a penny.
Your best care can help lower costs
Most of us aren’t prepared when the job of Family Caregiver lands in our laps. RubyWell has partnered with the Pennsylvania Home Care Association to help PA family caregivers access the same professional training required for certified home health aides, for free. And with the knowledge you gain, you’re more likely to provide care that improves your loved one’s quality of life and lowers their healthcare costs.
When family caregivers participate in a caregiver health education program, the aging loved ones they care for are likely to have lower overall health care costs.
Paid family caregivers have been shown to reduce emergency room visits by 28% and reduce the likelihood of hospital stays by 32%.
Any family caregiver can benefit from free training
