Sydney: Aged Care Chair Chi Training Level 1

I’m looking forward to next Monday’s Aged Care Chair Chi Training Level One workshop.

We’ve almost to capacity but there is still room for anyone who would like to register – you’ll need to do it now as we’ll be closing off bookings very soon.

So far we’ve run this workshop in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane. And next year we plan to run more workshops including our Level Two for those who have completed Level One – providing there is sufficient interest.

Here are the details to the current Sydney workshop;

When: Monday, 17th November
Where: Adina Apartment Hotel, 2 Lee Street (next to Central Station)
Duration: one day – 9.00am-4.30pm
Fee: $341 (includes GST) – includes catering and comprehensive training manual. 10% discount for three or more from one organisation (contact us for further details)

Please register here.

If you miss this one and are interested I’ll post up next year’s schedule once we finalise the dates.

Coming Up: Chair Chi Training – Monday 2nd June

By Chris Leave a Comment

Well, it’s only a couple days away from my next Aged Care: Chair Chi Training Level 1 workshop.

I’m really looking forward to this workshop as I’ll be working with aged care staff who run activities for their low care and high care residents. I’ll be teaching staff how to run a Chair Chi workshop and one of the things I find enjoyable is the opportunity to share experiences about working with the elderly; a component of the workshop.

Chair Chi: Always Energised

By Chris Leave a Comment

I deliver a lot of Chair Chi sessions for both low care and high care residents in various aged care centres and nursing homes – sometimes as many as 9 sessions in a week.

And I do get tired at times running around to different locations and producing the energy required to make a session enjoyable and productive.

Chair Chi Statistics: The Big Eight

By Chris Leave a Comment

I was going through my notes on the Chair Chi sessions I’ve run for residents in aged care centres here in Melbourne (outer eastern suburbs) and discovered some interesting statistics.

First session: August 2012
Total sessions: 72 (includes 3 presentations)
Aged care centres: 20
Oldest resident: 104 (almost 105)
Oldest group: 1543 years (1 x 103-year-old & 16 x 90-year-olds)
Oldest Husband and Wife: 98 and 94 years-old (married for 74 years)
Regular bookings: 12 aged care centres
Work with low care and high care residents

I’m currently working on new workshops for residents, a staff development program and a conference/meetings presentation which hopefully will add to the statistics above and to the enjoyment of working in the aged care sector.
