Love Howick functions by harnessing the power of public/private partnerships, that is by partnering with governmental structures, the business and NGO communities, as well as residents and other stakeholders. We all share a common goal, to see our community grow and prosper!![]()

“We have provided in-service training to four carers thus far and have four more scheduled for both November and December.![]()
![]()
“They undergo four weeks of in-service training alongside an experienced caregiver. We have four wings in our Care Centre with different focus areas (assisted living, dementia, Recovery from surgical procedures and convalescence). The training happens under the supervision of two registered nurses and our matron. A list of tasks that need to be mastered is given to the trainees upon arrival and signed off on when achieved.![]()
![]()
“Amberglen has an in-house home-based caregiver service that employs 70 contract caregivers called MyCare. When vacancies are encountered in the Amberglen Care Centre, most often MyCare staff members are chosen to fill such vacancies which serve as a pipeline feeder of trained caregivers. This in turn creates vacancies within MyCare. We have only heard good reports about the wonderful trainees from Love Howick’s Dream Centre and I am sure they will be snapped up in no time.![]()
