Dementia Active home care & Companionship

 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.

I have 23 years experience as a carer/ senior carer. I have worked in care homes ,day centres and the community.  I have a strong understanding of dementia and have worked in homes specialising in this form of care.

I am trained in:

Administration of medication 

Dementia awareness 

Understanding covid 19

Risk assessment 

Care planning 

Care in the community 

Food and hygiene 

Basic first aid

I have a strong understanding of dietary requirements. 

I also speak about "Communication within the care environment " at the "Care managers show " Excel, London and the NEC. 

I am a member of NACAs

 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.
