TELFED ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR NEXT COURSE FOR COMPANIONS TO THE ELDERLY

Over the past 4 years, the SAZF (Israel) - Telfed has organized and sponsored several courses to train people to work as companions to the elderly.  Over 35 men and women, from many parts of Israel, have completed the courses, and the majority of them have subsequently found full or part-time work in the field of providing companionship and caring to elderly people around the country.

The sessions are held in English and cover such topics as creative activities for older people, nutrition, basic first-aid, music therapy and garden therapy.  There is also a morning with Magen David Adom, to learn the principles of CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation).

We are planning another course to begin on 26th October 2008.  Most sessions will be held in our boardroom in Ra’anana, with the practical “hands-on” days taking place at Beth Protea, the retirement home in Herzliya.  The course period is one week, between the hours of 09:00 am and 15:00 pm. 

If you would like to participate, please confirm with Sharon Bernstein by 1st October.
