Infection Prevention in the Home: Protecting Clients and Caregivers

Course overview

Course Description Infections remain one of the most common and serious risks in home care, where caregivers work without the same resources or sterile environments found in hospitals. This course provides HHAs and CNAs with practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce infection risks during personal care, housekeeping, meal preparation, and daily routines. Learners will explore how infections spread in home settings, how to apply standard precautions, and how to balance safety with respect for client dignity.
