Home Management: Cleaning Mobility Aids, Adaptive Equipment, and Ramps
Mobility and adaptive equipment—like wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and ramps—are essential for client safety, independence, and comfort. This course teaches caregivers how to assist with light, non-clinical cleaning of these devices and environments while following agency policy. Learners will explore how to recognize signs of wear or malfunction, promote hygiene and safety, and maintain dignity when supporting the client’s use of medical or adaptive tools. The course also includes guidance on vehicle and ramp cleaning as part of seasonal or situational home care support.
