Family Caregiver Training
Why Family Caregiver Training?
Family caregivers are often the primary support for seniors, yet they frequently face challenges without the formal training that professional caregivers receive. Recognizing this gap, IncrediCare and CareAcademy are collaborating to extend professional-level training resources to family caregivers, ensuring they have access to the tools needed to provide high-quality care.

CareAcademy’s family caregiver training solution is affordable and easy to integrate, with videos accessible through a user-friendly dashboard. Topics are relevant to common caregiving tasks, such as assisting with mobility, nutrition, medication, and even coping strategies for caregiver stress.
Each video is designed to be engaging and adaptable, allowing caregivers to learn at their own pace with features like adjustable playback speed and customizable video quality
Supporting a Better Future for Caregiving
By empowering family caregivers with these resources, IncrediCare and CareAcademy are not only improving the quality of care for seniors but also creating a potential pipeline for future professional caregivers. Studies show that many professional caregivers start as family caregivers.
Through this initiative, families will gain critical skills, which may inspire some to pursue professional caregiving roles, helping to address the growing need for care providers in the industry.
