At DirectCourse | College of Personal Assistance and Caregiving, we focus on providing engaging training to help caregivers empower people with disabilities and older adults to live more independently. As part of the latest evolution of more than 150 years of healthcare expertise from Elsevier, we design each of our courses to give personal care assistants, home care providers and family caregivers the knowledge they need to make a positive impact every day.
For the latest trusted research, we partner with the Community Living Policy Center at the University of California, San Francisco. They’re recognized leaders in researching personal assistance services and how long-term services and support efforts can help people with disabilities and older adults live independently and safely within a community. That research goes into our content and training to not only improve care today, but to improve independence for tomorrow.
To ensure that our training is in line with best practices in direct support, we include National Advisory Board and National Editorial Board in our content creation process.
