Description
Geriatric nursing assistants are a key figure in the care of dependent elderly people, since they are in charge of their care, in social institutions, geriatric residences or day centres.
These professionals help elderly persons carry out everyday activities which they are no longer able to perform by themselves (getting up, getting dressed, going to the bathroom, showering, personal hygiene, etc.), carry out comprehensive care tasks for users and in the space where users live (cleanliness and order) and collaborate in preventive and stimulating intervention together with other professionals, with the aim of maintaining skills and at the same time contributing to the users' well-being and quality of life.
