Kindergarten for the elderly презентация

We all have heard about the benefits of human communication (and the child in particular) with horses - hippotherapy. There is also dolphin therapy, and many other fancy therapies - with hens on the farm, with shoots on the garden and with other “scarce benefits” of our civilization.

But here we are The Creature Teachers ("Creative Teachers" and the International Training Center (ILC) want to draw your attention to another. We want to say that between generations of modern people the connecting thread broke. Children and old people should communicate with each other and spend a lot there is no less time than “children and dogs” or “children and cats”.

The tendency of the last decades has led to the fact that old people are isolated from their families and from society in general. They were locked up in their own apartments or in nursing homes, like Indians on the reservation.

The same thing happened with children. Such concepts as “grandmother and grandfather”, “grandchildren”, “family consisting of several generations” are gradually disappearing from everyday life.

The children prolonged the life of old people (guess how it is easy), and the old people gave the children something invaluable that no tutor, book, TV or tablet would ever give them and mom and dad are always busy. Separating old people from their children, we chopped off the roots of our civilization and now the tree is slowly but steadily drying out.

Children and old people spend time together, of course, not "round the clock." They are united for only a few hours for joint activities and games. It happens five times a week - from Monday to Friday. Side by side, old people and kids draw, sing, dance, sculpt and even take cooking classes. For example, for starters, kindergarteners (and some old people along with them) are taught to make sandwiches for themselves. Also included and joint walks in the air.

We are engaged in the reverse mixing of guys and old people. Specifically, we create projects, conditions and platforms where we provide the opportunity for close, relaxed and long-term communication between the elderly and the younger generations.

In order to dispel the boring and monotonous everyday life of the residents of nursing homes, our company The Creature Teachers provides the opportunity to talk with animals: scratching a tummy tombs, stroking a snake, holding an owl on their hands - for many of the residents of the center this experience can be the first in their entire life!

A kindergarten for the elderly or, as a matter of fact, a day care unit with a hospital, is a commercial or government institution that provides social services for the elderly, including medical care, leisure programs and psychological and social support.

The advantages of kindergartens for the elderly:
Full care and supervision for an elderly person during the daytime while relatives are at work;
Ability to save on the nurse and nurses - in kindergartens medical staff are on duty, ready to assist;
A complete set of leisure services for the elderly;
Assistance and supervision of social workers;
Ability not to tear the elderly person completely from the family, combining home stay with geriatric care services.

Kindergartens for the elderly provide the following services:
• Sanitary and medical services (injections, examinations of nurses, assistance in carrying out hygienic procedures, etc.);
• Leisure activities;
• Psychological and social assistance.

Strictly speaking, kindergarten for the elderly has the same advantages as the traditional kindergarten for kids. Such an institution is a great opportunity to organize professional care for an old man during the working day, combined with leisure and rehabilitation programs. Of particular importance is the fact that an elderly person has the opportunity to constantly communicate not only with his peers in the center, but also with relatives, as there is no separation from home and family. This plays a huge role in maintaining a stable psychological state of the old man.
