Fracture Recovery for Seniors at Home Online
This resource was co-created over many years working with older aunts, family caregivers and friend, and heath providers. The resource started as a need identified by people with hip fracture. This version of the information was developed and modified to support the online learning experience.
If you would like to provide feedback on the course, you can find information for a research study below.
We co-create knowledge products or resources which aim to provide an overview of the recovery after hip fracture…

Caregivers’ Online Training for Hip Fracture Recovery
This is a research study conducted by the Community Mobility Lab at the University of British Columbia. The Principal Investigator for the study is Professor Maureen C. Ashe (maureen.ashe@ubc.ca)
We are looking for people to provide insights and feedback on an educational course focused on hip fracture recovery.
We recognize the important role that family and friends play in supporting older adults during their recovery from a hip fracture. In response, we have developed an online course designed to give caregivers some knowledge and skills for this journey.
To make sure the course meets the needs of caregivers, we invite feedback from everyone, regardless of whether they have personal experience with hip fractures.
Your input will be helpful in shaping the content and delivery of the program.
Please use this link to start the survey which has the online link to the course.
