staff with the necessary knowledge, skills and
experience required to render quality patient care.

The company also provides home-based care
services as an alternative to institutionalised care.
Our care workers are handpicked and trained to
care for clients in the comfort of their private homes
using a person-centred approach. This service is
growing in popularity as the preferred form of care
for dependent loved ones. Our home-based care
clients range from very sick and frail persons and
children living with disability to people who are still physically
capable but lonely and grieving, or perhaps just temporarily
sick or injured.
• Our small but dynamic team of specialists are passionate
about training and upskilling healthcare staff generally, so
we offer nurses and other healthcare staff lifelong learning
opportunities by offering accredited and non-accredited
courses at the Procare Health Training Academy. In so
doing, we enhance the quality of care rendered to the patient
and, because we are constantly upskilling our own staff, we
also offer added value to our clients.
Procare recently assisted Palm Garden Retreat, which offers luxury
boutique retirement living in Sea Point, in restructuring and outsourcing
their healthcare staff. ‘They were amazing,’ says Gail Buechel, CEO.
‘They did all the necessary upskilling and streamlined processes, and
are now handling the quality management system and all HR functions.’

We also offer a management consultancy service for
organisations that are considering outsourcing their
healthcare staff. We will do an initial assessment of the existing
staff, offer upskilling and training if necessary, and assist the
client in all the administrative tasks necessary for changing
from an in-house to an outsourced model. And from then on
we will handle everything.
