Namaste Czech Republic

Ever wondered what Namaste would look like in Czech Republic?

We are in little bit different position than other champions. We use Namaste not just as technique or an activity for people with dementia, but as a tool through which we could improve whole care home and a level of care. We believe that the most beautiful part of care givers proffesion is to spend some time with each client. We use Namaste as a tool how to stop in daily routine and think about each client’s story and needs. Now we have been working in two care homes. In one we have been since January 2020, one year and we can see first results. As one of the caregivers said: “Now I see our clients in different light. I understand that each of them is different.” We believe that this is the point when dignity and really good care start.

Ever wondered what Namaste would look like in Czech Republic?

Jsme v trochu jiné pozici než ostatní šampioni. Namaste používáme nejen jako techniku nebo aktivitu pro lidi s demencí, ale jako nástroj, jehož prostřednictvím bychom mohli zlepšit celý pečovatelský dům a úroveň péče. Věříme, že nejkrásnější částí péče je strávit nějaký čas s každým klientem. Namaste používáme jako nástroj, jak se zastavit v každodenní rutině a přemýšlet o příběhu a potřebách každého klienta. Nyní pracujeme ve dvou pečovatelských domech. V jednom jsme od ledna 2020, jeden rok a vidíme první výsledky. Jak řekl jeden z pečovatelů: “Nyní vidím naše klienty v jiném světle. Chápu, že každý z nich je jiný.” Domníváme se, že právě v tomto bodě začíná důstojnost a opravdu dobrá péče. Během sabatu je vše složitější, ale pro některé pečovatele namaste znamená šanci na aktivitu, protože pravidelné aktivity jsou zrušeny. Rosteme krok za krokem.
During covid everything is more complicated, but for some caregivers Namaste means a chance for activity, because regular activities are canceled. We are growing step by step. Each care home in which we are means dozens of more satisfied clients and dozens of more satisfied caregivers. Our plan is offer Namaste to three care homes every year. Our vision is that Namaste care is a way how to measure a quality of care and how to start with discussion “What is the principle of care giver profession? Do they have a really good conditions for it?” We believe that Namaste could be a breaking point in some point of view. Sometimes people say: “Namaste care? Kindness? It’s something alternative?” Our response is: “When we believe that kindness is something alternative, we are lost.” Our goal is remind to public, that kindness is the basic of any care. Namaste care is our guide and compass.
Každý pečovatelský dům, ve kterém jsme, znamená desítky spokojenějších klientů a desítky spokojenějších pečovatelů. Naším plánem je nabídnout Namaste každý rok tři pečovatelské domy. Naší vizí je, že péče o Namaste je způsob, jak měřit kvalitu péče a jak začít diskusí “Jaký je princip pečovatelské profese? Mají na to opravdu dobré podmínky?” Věříme, že Namaste by mohl být v určitém pohledu zlomový bod. Někdy lidé říkají: “Namaste péče? Laskavost? Je to něco alternativního?” Naše odpověď je: “Když věříme, že laskavost je něco alternativního, jsme ztraceni.” Naším cílem je připomenout veřejnosti, že laskavost je základem každé péče. Namaste péče je náš průvodce a kompas.

Namaste Testimonials

Namaste Care is all about bringing joy and comfort in the lives of people with dementia. By using meaningful activities, we try to connect with the person with dementia. It is about the little moments where you feel that you were able to true connect with the person with dementia to motivate me to continue. For example seeing a smile on the face of the resident that is often non-responsive, hearing a resident speak a full sentence that before Namaste did not say more than one or two words, and seeing the woman that always wandered the corridors sitting in the Namaste room in a comfortable chair with a relaxed expression on her face. The beauty of Namaste Care lays in its simplicity, no expensive equipment or elaborate training is necessary, just loving care and personal attention. It helps family caregivers to meaningfully connect to their loved one. It is a great tool to bring person-centred palliative care to life and to involve family caregivers in a positive way with the care for their loved one.

We are closer to our clients” said one caregiver to me after few months of Namaste care programme in their care home. And that’s the point. Be close to our clients, be able to perceive their individual needs and be able to slowdown in daily routine. Namaste care is about the most common things which we forget to use. It’s about kindness, touch, senses and people. Namaste care is about relationships between clients and caregivers. What you give, you get. Namaste care International is the most inspiring online meeting which you can imagine. How often do you have a chance to speak with people all around the world? Namaste care International is about support, inspiration and common goal which is dignity and quality as a basic principle of care.
