DIE VERSORGINGSEENHEID/ CARE UNIT
Die versorgingseenheid huisves persone in verskillende stadia van verswaktheid. In die selfversorgende afdeling word Bejaardes, wat nog tot ‘n groot mate onafhanklik is in hulle algemene daaglikse aktiwiteite soos, was, aantrek, beweeg en eet in gerieflike, sonnige enkelkamers gehuisves. Egpare of mense van dieselfde geslag word in dubbelkamers gehuisves.
Die semi-verswakte afdeling huisves persone wat reeds hulp nodig het met was, aantrek en beweging.
Hierdie twee afdelings staan onder toesig van ‘n gekwalifiseerde verpleegkundige, sr Gesie Herbst, asook hulpverpleegsters.
Verswakte Bejaardes, waarvan baie bed- of kamergebonde gebonde is, word in die verswakte eenheid versorg. Sommige Inwoners in die verswakte afdeling is van permanente suurstofvoorsiening afhanklik, en sommige word gevoer.
In 2007 is ‘n Alzheimer-eenheid ingerig weens die geweldige behoefte aan hierdie soort sorg. Dit het mettertyd uitgebrei sodat daar tans fasiliteite vir 22 Alzheimer-pasiënte is.
Die inwoners van “Sonland” (so genoem, omdat daar soveel liefde en vreugde uitgedeel en ontvang word) word daagliks gestimuleer met speletjies, soos blokkies- en legkaartbou, sagte speelgoed en bekende aktiwiteite, soos brei en hekel-werk.
Bogenoemde twee afdelings word afwisselend deur twee geregistreerde verpleegkundiges bestuur, sodat daar daagliks ten minste een gekwalifiseerde verpleegkundige aan diens is. Hulle word bygestaan deur bekwame en toegewyde stafverpleegsters, assistentverpleegsters en hulpverpleegsters. Daar word 24-uur mediese sorg en toesig in die versorgingseenheid gelewer.
The CARE CENTRE UNIT accommodates people in different stages of frailty.
In the self-supporting section, the Elderly, who to a great extent are still independent in their daily activities such as washing, dressing, mobility and eating are accommodated in comfortable, sunny single rooms. Single and double bed rooms are available.
The semi-frail care section accommodates people who are already in need of help in washing, dressing, eating and moving around.
These two sections are under the supervision of a qualified nurse, including assistant nurses. Infirm elderly, many of whom are bed bound or confined to their bedrooms, receive extensive care in the care centre.
In 2007 an Alzheimer Unit was established on account of an enormous need for this kind of care. Gradually this unit has been extended so that at present there are facilities for 22 Alzheimer patients.
The residents of “Sonland” (so called because so much love and joy are shared and received) are stimulated on a daily basis with games, like the building of cubes and puzzles, soft toys and familiar activities, such as knitting and crocheting.
Both above mentioned sections are alternately managed by two registered nurses who relieve one another, so that at least one qualified nurse is on duty every day. They are supported by qualified and efficient staff nurses, assistant nurses and nursing aides. 24 Hour medical care and supervision is provided in the care centre.
