Comprehensive Specialist Training:
Our specialist dementia training goes beyond basic caregiving skills.

This training equips them with the skills to handle various challenges associated with dementia, ensuring that each client receives personalised and empathetic care.

In addition to our specialist training, we believe in leveraging local resources to support older people with dementia. In Worthing, Steyning, and nearby areas, there are several local clubs and support groups designed to offer social engagement and practical assistance for those affected by dementia. For example, the Worthing Dementia Action Alliance provides valuable resources and activities for individuals and families dealing with dementia. The Steyning Dementia Café offers a welcoming space for older people with dementia to connect with others in a supportive environment. Our Care Professionals are well-informed about these local resources and actively encourage participation to foster a sense of community and connection.
