Description
Home care professionals routinely provide services in environments that present unique and often unpredictable safety challenges. As frontline caregivers, they have a responsibility to deliver high-quality care while also protecting their own well-being. This webinar explores the critical role of duty of care in home-based healthcare settings, emphasizing practical strategies for managing physical safety risks before, during, and after home visits.
Drawing on expertise from a former United States Secret Service Agent, participants will learn how situational awareness principles can be applied in home care to identify, assess, and respond to potential threats. The session will also examine how emerging safety technologies can strengthen personal safety practices, improve communication, and support organizational risk management efforts.
Attendees will gain actionable tools to enhance personal safety, improve threat recognition, and incorporate technology-driven solutions into comprehensive safety planning for home-based care environments.
