5 reviews for Care Partner Skill Cards
Cards are compact, portable and perfect for quick reference. Love them.
The only thing that I did not like was the ridiculous postage cost to Canada at $20 US. There is no way to justify this cost and will hinder me from purchasing anything else from Teepa Snow.
Love this product it comes in so handy on different occasions with the residents. It has helped me on one occasion from getting hurt.
Helpful tool when doing huddles
Excellent handy product to get a quick review or idea what to do next. I have it handy for all my senior companions who are volunteering in our adult day program. They all love knowing more about PPA.
This is a very useful tool for coaches to use when they are working with their clients. It gives coaches a handy tool to refresh their memory on the spot of what they have been taught regarding PPA.
