Cool Learning Games for Caregivers and Frontline Senior Care Staff

Cool learning games are not for the little kids and teenagers, it is also for caregivers, housekeepers, activity directors and other frontline employees who have daily, hands-on contact with residents in assisted living and nursing communities according to this press release dated October 11 2007 entitled aQuire Training Solutions Announces New Courses Available A La Carte.

Here is an extract from the article:
"Using a game-based approach to training is an intentional concept designed not only to increase the enjoyment and engagement of learners, but also to improve retention and build skills more quickly, proven results of repetitive learning games.

Unique courses designed for staff in community based care settings like Assisted Living and Residential Care also set aQuire apart from other online staff training programs.

"Several products are available and specifically designed for nursing home staff," comments Brothers. "Recognizing both the growth of assisted living, and the public's preference for home-like care settings, our courses are designed to promote a less medical and more personalized approach to caregiving. We support the move to a culture change that focuses on the individual, not the facility."

Courses are written by an instructor team consisting of nurses, restorative therapists, testing and education specialists and experienced senior care administrators. California has approved all courses for CNA continuing education; other states approve the courses for inservice and staff training requirements."

It is wonderful that learning is now possible anytime, anywhere with cool learning games that make it more fun and engaging for the people who use them to get trained. Such methods have become really pervasive and shows great promise in training people in the best way that they can absorb and at their own time.
