Your working environment: Dementia care on a protected ward

The dementia ward works person-centered: the focus is on the person and their biography, not the diagnosis. You therefore design everyday life with fixed rituals as well as familiar gestures and milieu-therapeutic elements. Additionally, you recognize non-verbal signals, meet restlessness with calmness, and create moments of security and joy. This work requires patience and gives much back in return.

In short: As a FaGe in dementia care, you provide security and closeness. Dementia care in Wettingen is therefore considered by FaGe to be one of the most beautiful tasks ever.

The profession in detail: What does a Specialist in Healthcare EFZ do?

In daily nursing care, Specialists in Healthcare EFZ are the backbone. They take over, for example, basic care, also support with personal hygiene and mobilization, and accompany people empathetically through the day. Furthermore, they perform medical-technical tasks: they measure vital signs, administer medication according to prescription, change simple bandages, and carefully document every observation in the nursing system.

The basis is the three-year vocational basic training with a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (EFZ). After that, many paths are open: the shortened HF training to become a registered nursing professional, specialization in long-term care, or the role as a vocational trainer for apprentices. The FaGe qualification is therefore considered by the professional portal gesundheitsberufe.ch (https://www.gesundheitsberufe.ch) as one of the strongest foundations in the Swiss healthcare system.
