A
seminar for Homecare staff was held in Aktobe from 10 to 13 October, 2003.
Its participants were 13 people from Aktobe, Uralsk, Kostanay, and Atyrau,
both experienced and freshmen.
The seminar participants were divided into teams of 2 people:
an experienced and an unskilled employee. It helped them to learn and
to refresh their knowledge. Special questions from the basic course were
prepared for the general class. The following topics were discussed and
practiced for three days:
-
serving bed-patients;
- teaching self-service;
- working with clients suffering from Alzheimer's disease;
- rehabilitation equipment;
- medicines (revision, the rules of storage and destruction).
The seminar finished with the team work with a psychologist
Natalya Dorman. Her training helped the employees to better understand
the elderly people's way of thinking.
