Course overview

Domiciliary care support workers help individuals maintain independence, safety, dignity, and wellbeing within their own homes. Poor communication, missed changes in client needs, weak infection control, incomplete documentation, and unclear professional boundaries can reduce care quality and place clients and workers at risk.

The Domiciliary Care Support Worker course covers the foundations of Canadian home care, client needs, care plans, daily support, infection prevention, risk control, communication, documentation, teamwork, legal and ethical duties, professional conduct, wellbeing, and career readiness.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to provide person-centred daily support, follow care plans, recognize risks, communicate effectively, maintain accurate records, and fulfil professional responsibilities in home care settings. Certification is provided upon successful completion of the course.
