🌍 Rounding up , we’re proud to celebrate Chin and Cynthia, our dedicated Dementia Champions at Nesbit House Care Home.

✨ Chin and Cynthia share:

“As Dementia Champions, our role is to support both staff and families in understanding dementia and how best to care for those living with it. We’ve organised workshops across all departments – from care and wellbeing to administration, housekeeping, and kitchen – helping colleagues gain confidence, empathy, and practical skills.

We also work closely with families, encouraging them to share questions and suggestions. By giving insight into the daily experiences of their loved ones, we aim to strengthen partnerships in care and ensure families feel supported and involved.

Looking ahead, we’re planning to expand our sessions – moving from informal conversations to structured workshops – so we can provide even more guidance and support to families as well as our wider team.”

💜 Chin and Cynthia’s commitment to education, family support, and creating a dementia-friendly community truly demonstrates the impact of Dementia Champions at Nesbit House.

Thank you, Chin and Cynthia, for all that you do. 💫
