Alzheimer's Training

Alzheimer's SA recently moved to our premises.  Not only does this mean that we can pop in for some much needed advice every now and then, but it also gives us the opportunity to do continuous training with them.

On the 5th and the 6th and the 12th and the 13th of June, some of the management and professional staff of the Ron Smith Care Centre went for training.

Loraine Schirlinger, regional director of Gauteng (Alzheimer's SA) did most of the training, but Sylvia Birkhead (Occupational Therapist) also trained the attendees for one day.

Helen Petrie (Manager) and Avril Maltman (Matron) reported that they enjoyed the training and really learned a lot and gained valuable insight into the disease, thanks to the course.

A very special thanks to Loraine and Sylvia for a very enjoyable course!
