Pine Bluff Students Experience Aging Simulation

Students in our In-Home Assistant class this morning got a chance to experience first-hand some of the frustrating symptoms that sometimes accompany the aging process: neuropathy, shortness of breath, decline in vision, arthritis, limited ability to use and control hands, and so on. Empathy is an important quality for every caregiver to learn, and this is just one of the ways our program stands out from the typical “CNA training” program.
