After the courses, many participating students commented the following:
Beijing United-Homes Elderly Services Group Co.Ltd: It is quite warm to see the leaders and professors of CASWSS in the live streaming. We are grateful that CASWSS has organized these very timely non-profit classes. The lectures given by Vice Director Guo accurately addressed the senior care organizations’ curricula needs under the pandemic. Our institution has been under closed management for 3 months, and our director and nurses can feel the emotional changes of the elderly everyday. The psychology course is very helpful for us to provide more humanistic services in the future.
Shanghai Zhongfuhui Nursing Home (online comments): The curricula are well designed. They are truly helpful for us to respond to the pandemic.
Harbin Seafarer Nursing Home of Heilongjiang Province (phone comments): We appreciate CASWSS’s care for us members. The non-profit courses are of rich content, and our staff and older persons all sent very well reflections on these lectures.
Xi’an Elderly Rehabilitation Center: Under long-term closed management, our staffs and the elderly are anxious emotionally, and some even showed symptoms of depression, which we have no proper way to help relieve. After the lectures, we had a correct understanding and thus benefited a lot.
The first course of the series of non-profit training classes has achieved full success. In the following courses, the specialist team and CASWSS’s working staff will continue to provide high-quality services with sincerity. We look forward to the active participation of our members and elderly service colleagues nationwide.
