📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Accommodation and Rest and Care House with a "safe quarter" for confused elderly.
The hosting and care for confused Elderly is mainly characterized by the creation of a secure living space. Every effort is made to ensure that each resident can "feel him good" in this area of life enabling them to realize, to come true and to open up and despite the poly-pathology that afflicts him.
The main focus is on support and / or replacement on a daily basis and that in every detail of life. This allows the resident to "stabilize him" in its loss of autonomy, or even cover a bit more autonomy for certain acts that could be done again, which again gives a satisfaction of fullfilment.
The Foyer Ste-Anne offers the full range of specialists dedicated to these goals. Volunteers will be mainly in contact with the healthcare, physiotherapist or animation team.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers are accomodated in the "pedagogy" of a school for nurses and have their own room (with common kitchen facilities and showers)
During the service they will eat in the Foyer and receive monthly 180 € to buy food.
They will have a season ticket to travel by bus through the city of Namur.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer tasks are mainly focused on the "relational" through:
- Animation activities (representing 70% of the time) such as: games, singing, painting on silk, ...
- Support of the elderly for meals, walks, ... (about 20% of the time)
Volunteers will eventually develop initiatives based on their personal experience as long as these initiatives are matching the goals set by the teaching team.
A French course is foreseen in a public school of the city
