Free Caregiver Skills Training Days

For Those Caring for a Loved One

We are providing our caregiver training classes to residents on Long Island, free of charge, as a community service. The classes will be held at our five Long Island locations. Our decision to offer its classes free to residents is designed to help Long Islanders meet the needs of its growing aging and disabled populations. We have reformatted its free courses to make them more convenient for the caregiver. Increasingly, the public is turning to home health care agencies, choosing to take on caretaking responsibilities themselves or a combination of both, rather than have their family member be cared for in nursing homes or other facilities.

"There is a steadily growing need to teach people the skills required to take on the responsibilities of being a caregiver for members of their own family. Our goal as a company is to allow patients to be cared for at home, rather than at a nursing home or other facility. Providing free caregiver training is an extension of that mission and will help to ensure that caregivers have the training needed to properly address the care needs of their loved ones." - Manuel G. Martinez, Executive Vice President

Four topics will be covered each day at designated Utopia locations in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Caregivers can attend one, or more, or all the classes. For information about the free caregiver training program call the office where you would like to take the free skills training. The phone numbers are listed below.
