The qualification is funded by the state of Lower Saxony and is free of charge for participants.
As part of the program called "DUO - household assistance and everyday support", course participants learn, for example, interesting facts about age-appropriate nutrition, first aid measures, infection prevention, active leisure activities and much more.
The next course starts on Wednesday, September 4, 2024
The course consists of a 30-hour theoretical part followed by a 20-hour practical part. This practical part is intended to enable participants to gain initial experience in dealing with older people in a qualified manner and to apply what they have learned.
The Senior Citizens and Care Support Center offers this qualification measure in cooperation with the Protestant and Catholic Family Education Center and the Volkshochschule of the city of Salzgitter.
The training takes place on twelve weekdays in the period from September 4 to September 30, mainly in the late afternoon hours.
Participants can use the knowledge they have acquired as volunteer senior companions and/or for family support.
