Holistic Senior Health Assessment Training (Online) | ACT4Health

Is Your Care Centre or Nursing Home Screening Residents the Right Way?

Malaysia's ageing population is growing fast — and so are the expectations on care centres and nursing homes to deliver structured, evidence-based resident care. Without a comprehensive health screening protocol, risks go undetected, care plans are incomplete, and families lose confidence in your facility.

This online training by ACT4Health (University of Malaya spin-off) equips you and your care team with a complete, validated senior health screening framework — covering 9 key health domains — so you can assess every resident thoroughly from admission through to ongoing care.

Built for Care Centre & Nursing Home Operators

This course is designed specifically for:

• Entrepreneurs and investors setting up a care centre or nursing home — build a proper, evidence-based health screening protocol before your first resident walks through the door
• Existing nursing home and care centre operators — standardize your admission assessments, annual health reviews, and care planning processes
• Nurse managers, care managers, and home nursing operators
• Home caregivers supporting older adults in the community

What You Will Learn

• How to conduct a comprehensive senior health screening across 9 key domains using validated tools
• How to administer, score, and interpret each screening assessment accurately
• How to use screening results to develop individualized care plans from day one of admission
• How to provide appropriate recommendations and referrals based on assessment outcomes
• How to implement screening as part of your annual resident health review protocol
