Elderly Care
Elderly care workers are trained as home based care workers, with a relevant training qualification & a minimum of 6 months work experience, which will usually include a supervised practical at a recognised institution!
There are a number of different ways to qualify to be a Care Worker, which include ENA's (Enrolled Nursing Assistants / Auxiliary Nurses), Pre Nurses (Ancillary) & Home Based Care or Lay Health Workers.
They are trained to assist the elderly or frail with duties such as:
- bed baths,
- mobility & bathroom assistance,
- circulation stimulation
- treating bedsores
- companionship
- preparing meals & feeding the patient
- general tidying of the home
- reminding & giving of medication
- Monitoring of vital signs
They are trained to assist those in need in a professional & caring manner, making life easier!
ENA's can also fulfil a Home Nurse position, providing basic care for out patients.
Private rates can range from around R2,750.00 - R4,500.00 per month, all depending on the amount of days & the hours worked per week. Rates are determined by the Care Worker's qualification & experience levels.
