Teaching and Learning to Care: Training for Caregivers in Long Term Care (TLC for LTC) has been produced under the leadership of faculty from the University of Pennsylvania’s Schools of Medicine and Nursing in collaboration with many community based professionals and facilities.
TLC for LTC is a series of instructional modules directed to meeting the needs of Staff Development Educators (SDEs), those in long term care who are responsible for staff education, and instructors, or those who teach an individual class session
The individual modules are available free of charge to download from this website. Click on the title of the module you are interested in and download either the whole module or specific segments. For some modules a streaming video is also available online.
This electronic version of the TLC for LTC modules contain all text files, Power Point slides, and video clips needed to teach the module. Specifically they are:
Power Point Slides for projection.
Power Point slides with notes about the content for your use when teaching (switch view to Notes Version within Power Point).
Video segments. Some modules contain video segments; the instructor’s notes, found in the Notes version of the Power Point slides suggest how to use the videos in relation to the other content. The video segments are designed to illustrate different cases or situations that may occur in a variety of long term care settings.
Reproducible files containing materials for participants including a handout version of the slides, and often summary or supplementary information and tools for using the content
Topics for the modules are as follows:
Module 1: Fall Risk

Maybe you can include information on LTC insurance. It's a vastly misunderstood plan to the younger.
