Nightingale Trust home care training and service centre is a faith-based, Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organisation situated in Central, Port Elizabeth.

Nightingale Trust has two main focuses:

TRAINING:

Our training encompasses:

Home based care
HIV, AIDS, STI's and TB
Community Health Work
LIfe Skills

Our training material will soon be HWSETA accredited, although we are an accredited training provider. Our training material is unit standard-aligned.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH:

We have a community outreach project in Steve Tshwete Village, Motherwell - providing a free service to those in need.

In November 2012, the Nightingale Care Trust was registered. This organisation provides for the placement of trained home care givers with private clients, providing a flexible and reliable service in the comfort of their own home.

Both Nightingale Trust and Nightingale Care Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees. The four trustees were appointed in terms of the respective Deeds of Trust, and hold quarterly meetings.

The daily operations of the organisation falls under the supervision of a manager. The remainder of the staff component includes:

• Administrator
• Facilitator
• Assessor registered with the HWSETA
• Registered Nurse: Care Service
• Registered Nurse: Community Outreach
