How-to video tutorials for medical or nursing caregiving tasks
While caring for an older adult at home, caregivers often have to learn medical or nursing tasks on their own.
This is because most families don’t get proper training for the care that serious health conditions require.
To support caregivers, AARP has created dozens of helpful caregiving how-to videos and printable resource guides, all available for free on their website.
The videos cover 8 major caregiving categories including special diets, managing incontinence, wound care, mobility, and managing medications.
We share a list of the 8 categories, most having 6+ videos covering a variety of topics. Some are available in both Spanish and English.
