They will plan and realize goal-oriented and wide-ranging activities in various environments of elderly care in the metropolitan area. Students will apply different activating methods according to the special needs of the elderly. They will critically evaluate their own activity as well as the success of reaching its expected outcomes.
Students will identify the network of elderly care and clients’ service needs. They will be prepared to employ first aid and fire safety measures in emergency situations.
