It is VERY Unnecessary to include information in text in regards to a human sexual functioning; when the course should focus on information related to the care of humans in need of home health services! a copy of text found in week 8 " Physical limitations may also make sexual intimacy more difficult in that a person with a physical disability may need to make adjustments in order to engage in intimacy. Making adaptive changes in order to fulfill sexual intimacy needs can cause a person stress." (what is this text trying to convey, what message are you sending to future HHA/PCA?) I find this inappropriate and demeaning to the home health profession! As a HHA in the USA, and having taken other home health related courses and training, never have I read an training text including sexual health and functioning pertaining to training aides to assist elderly and or other humans in need of home health services. Given this course is sponsor or adopted though a New York establishment i'm applaud! the content needs to be reviewed and rewritten! this course has text in earlier modules in the course where text including information of an individual sexual health and activity are mention! HOW this relevant to caring for a person in a home health care setting? INDEED IT IS NOT!!! The course info. should only be to teach the care of person needing home health in nutrition,hygiene and grooming care, medical and medication,first aid treatment, house cleaning and care, etc.. NOT a human being sexual health concerns and needs!! DUE to this content error, I refuse to continue the course as a student.

Amazing course I have learned so much in these 13 weeks. I wold highly recommend this course to anyone looking to earn a degree or just get a good education in this field.

I am new to this career and found each module valuable for everyday use in my job.

I also appreciated you could both read and listen to audio for the lessons.

Mega course! You learnt about the do's and don'ts of care, along with knowledge of the medical body and transferring patients from/to their wheelchair or the bed.

I´m very happy for achieving my goals with this course, also, appreciate everything coursera and the university have done. Thank you so so much!

IT IS QUITE A DETAILED VOLUMNOUS TRAINING ON HOME CARE BUT VERY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE. I LIKE THE FACT THAT IT IS BROKEN INTO DIFFERENT UNITS IN EACH MODULES EXCEPT FOR MODULE 12 WHICH MADE IT INTERESTING TO PULL ON UNTIL THE END OF THE COURSE. HOWEVER MODULE 12 IS VERY MASSIVE; THAT I NEARY GA VE UP BUT THANK GOD I FINISHED EARLY.

MY IMMERSE GRATITUDE GOES TO THE THREE TUTORS THAT PUT TOGETHER THE LEARNING MATERIAL AND TO UNIVERSITY OF YORK THAT OFFERED THE COURSE THROUGH COURSERA. THANK YOU.

ONE LAST THING, WHEN I STARTED I DID NOT HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR CERTIFICATE BUT NOW I CAN PAY, IS THERE A WAY I CAN HAVE A PAID CERTIFICATE WITH MY NAME ON THE COMPLETED COURSE? THANKS.

I recently completed the Foundation for Caregiving course on Coursera, and I must say it was a fantastic experience! The course was well-structured, providing valuable insights into essential caregiving skills and best practices. I gained a wealth of knowledge about patient care, communication techniques, and the importance of empathy in caregiving. The engaging content and interactive assessments made learning enjoyable and impactful. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing a career in caregiving or enhancing their existing skills. It truly equips you with the tools needed to make a positive difference in the lives of those you care for.

Very challenging, very detailed, and above the standard of what some Agencies thought me in class. So proud of myself ! I am a HHA trained by an Agency but there is no comparison. I hope this certificate will boost my Resume and be well compensated for going above the mediocre Agency classes.

Thanks to all the Lecturers, for setting the bar so high in a very simplified way.

Thanks.

Great introduction for Assisting in Home Care. This course is very informative and timely. Information is easy to understand and quizzes are designed to reinforce understanding. Text, audio files, pictures and videos are used to help students grasp the subject matter. The course could be more useful and fun if more videos are added.

This is by far one of the best courses I've done at Coursera. It served the purpose I had in mind, as a practical review of many basic human services process and proceedures. I recommend it for both the induction to and review of these fundmentals.

the information is easy to stick in one's busy brain, the videos really helped to consume the info. You'd think it'd take just a little time but the questions are designed in a way that will force you to go back and read if you skipped material

I think more videos should've been including instead of so much reading. not every one can visualize, they need to see the entire action played out since this is a online course not hands on. but it was very a great course.

I have to take care of my mother and now I´m very conscious for each issue and help her in the home and assistance her for the daily living.

This was a very good course. The course provide all the skill and information needed to ensure the care of any patient,

its a great informative, and their video makes us comfortable to understand. thanks a lot

Amazing course learned alot!

Great course

Was very informative

my appreciation go the coursera and there team, the opportunity given was appreciated, am so grateful . the learning was interesting and materials was so detailed and well explained, I learnt a lot of new things, acquire new skills and was expose to basic responsibilities of an health care giver and personal care giving for myself and the intend organization to work with. thanks so much, looking forward for great achievement through you.

The course was very helpful in understanding various aspects of Care and more so Elderly Care.

The content and explanation was easy to understand, very informative and very helpful even at a personal level for elders in your own home.

The videos provided excellent understanding of various things explained in writing.

A great course.

I’m grateful and thankful for this course ,i haven’t only learn skills ,but empathy and understanding other individuals with special needs and even the elderly who is just growing older naturally.I was able to test my skill and knowledge during this course with individuals in my community. So it’s a 5 star for me .Thank you

Great course, i've learnt a lot. The course is loaded but equips you enough for the role. It teaches you a part of health care that is very essential but does not get the needed attention it deserves, especially, at where i am in Africa. Im a nutritionist and i found this course very useful to my work. You should try it.

I was very impressed by the wide range of topics included in this course. Topics such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Culture and Family Diversity, the Body Organ System, Patients' Rights and the History of Home Health Care. Learning during this course was an awesome experience, especially with the pre-quiz questions.

It really gives you a base, a foundation to learn how to behave and what to do in specific situations, with specific poeple. But, more important, this course will teach you ethics. Ethics and technical skills are all you need, if you work as a competent caregiver (I'm using the wrong term, I know...)

I'm grateful for this opportunity. I have learnt so much through out the course.I will apply the knowledge and skills I have gained over the past weeks.

I really appreciate Coursera and I would be glad to recommend anyone who is willing to further their studies and dreams.
