Your care is our concern.

In the long run there will be a care center, which is meant for people as described under the head of target groups. For this purpose, a (construction) plan is ready, for which financial resources are sought.

We see quality as:

• Holistic vision
• Free and open for specific wishes of the inhabitants
• Besides basic care and attention always consider improvements
• Providing complementary care.
• Cooperation and communication.
• Educated and motivated staff that share our vision.
• Approach and plans for each specific user.
• Information and communication with the elderly as well as their family.

For the internal quality control a number of things are very necessary, namely:

• Good overall climate.
• Good material working conditions.
• Good working relationships.
• Good terms of employment.
• Staff development opportunities.
• Allow everyone to participate (involve).
• Minimize but being able to discuss aggression and insecurity at work.

In order to be able to offer a good circle of care in all areas that apply to our residents, we work closely with many external disciplines such as:

• Nursing home doctor (1x per week doctor visiting)
• Social Psychiatric Nurse.
• Psychiatrist.
• Psychologist.
• Behavioural therapist.
• Social worker.
• Physiotherapists.
• Dietitian.

The GAAI center is entirely subject to the Inspection of the Ministry of Health in Ghana.

Because this care center is new and skilled personnel are hard to find, local people are professionally trained to do the job adequately. This is a ‘training work path’. Working learning! In view of the quality of care that GAAI wants to offer, the candidates are strictly selected for the training program.

The center offers internships for students of Health Care Programs in the Netherlands, Belgium and in Ghana itself. GAAI Foundation is open to partnerships with voluntary organizations from the Netherlands and Belgium that are active with (care) assistance in Ghana.

With the arrival of this nursing home an estimated fifty people can be assured of a job. With this, Gaai has an economic added value for society. It will be investigated to what extent the government (in the form of subsidy) can guarantee the salaries of a part of the staff.
