A self-employed carer has the option to charge a fixed hourly rate for each care session, covering various activities, as mutually agreed upon.
This requires agreement from you, the carer, and the individual or their family.
Dementia Active will collect the payment on your behalf from the individual or their family, contingent on the submission of a valid online 'time sheet', through GoCardless. The funds will be transferred once received.
Dementia Active will ask the member for a 5% suggested donation for the charity from the payment, which is given voluntarily, and in addition to your payment (This donation is eligible for Gift Aid). The member will have the option to decline this suggested donation.
Andy is the founder of a new and innovative service which provides daytime activities for people living with dementia.
He has a wide experience of care services for older people including working as a home carer, providing support to enable people with dementia to stay in their own homes. As a result of his first wife’s diagnosis with a rare form of vascular dementia in 2016 he is therefore acutely aware of how difficult life can be in trying to support a loved one and give them the best life has to offer.
His aim along with the rest of the Dementia Active team is to provide a safe and welcoming environment, where people with dementia can relax and join in activities designed to support and maintain their ability levels. Crucially this provides family members with some much needed time to themselves.
Andy has a particular interest in developing activities using the principles underlying Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST).
This seeks to stimulate and utilise people’s cognitive strengths in order to help them maintain their lives in their own homes.

Hello, my name is Sharon. I have worked within the health and social care sector for over 25 Years.
I previously worked within a domiciliary agency, where I was a carer that worked their way up to sector manager. However, I preferred to be hands on providing individuals with person centred care that was catered to them and their needs so for the last 15 years I have worked as a self-employed PA/Carer.
I provide a huge range of services, and work alongside some other great PAs to ensure you have the care you deserve.
I have extensive training and qualifications in different sectors of adult social care including palliative care, dementia care and diabetic care as well as a full NVQ Level 3.
I pride myself in always developing and improving myself and my skills so that you have top quality care at all times.
