Supporting our teams during World Alzheimer’s Month 🤝

As part of World Alzheimer’s Month, we are proud to share The Dementia Handbook with our Home Managers and Dementia Champions across Hamberley Care Homes.

This week, David Moore, our Head of Dementia, presented a copy of the handbook to Fiona Smith, Home Manager at Richmond Manor.

The handbook has been developed as a practical resource to support our teams in delivering compassionate, relationship-centred care for residents living with dementia and their families.

This week Templeton Place and sister home, Alston House, donated two brand new wheelchairs to UHS Southampton General Hospital. The wheelchairs have been gifted to the team on G6 ward. Kieran and Claire, Customer Relations Managers at Alston House and Templeton Place visited G6, delivering the wheelchairs and some goody bags to the ward staff. It’s great to support the local NHS trust, as well as work collaboratively with our peers in the community. The wheelchairs were purchased from local business Solent Mobility.

🌍 This , we’re shining a spotlight on our incredible Dementia Champions across our Hamberley Care Homes.

✨ Justyna & Helen, Dementia Champions at Chawley Grove Care Home in Oxford, shared:

“The most rewarding part of being Dementia Champions is truly seeing and knowing our residents living with dementia for who they really are. We share our knowledge, passion, and skills with colleagues, residents, and families to help create positive change.

As Dementia Champions, it’s our responsibility to be role models, lead by example, and ensure that care is always person-centred. We want the voices and choices of our residents to be heard, and their social, physical, and emotional wellbeing to always come first.” 💜

Through their compassion and dedication, Justyna & Helen help make sure the voices, choices, and wellbeing of residents living with dementia are always at the heart of life at Chawley Grove💫

Thank you, Justyna & Helen, for all that you do! Your dedication makes such a difference to residents, families, and colleagues alike.

💜 September is World Alzheimer’s Month 💜

At Hamberley Care Homes, we’re proud to support this global initiative to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and highlight the importance of compassionate dementia care.

Earlier this year for dementia action week, we sat down with our Head of Dementia, David Moore, to talk about the small changes we can all make to better support those living with dementia and their families. His insights remain just as relevant today.

👉 You can revisit the conversation here: https://www.hamberleycarehomes.co.uk/news-events/2025/in-conversation-with-david-moore-head-of-dementia-at-hamberley-care-homes/

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing stories and reflecting as we continue to champion understanding, kindness, and connection for people living with dementia. 💙

To mark Dementia Action Week (19th – 25th May 2025), we sat down with David Moore, our Head of Dementia, to explore how Hamberley Care Homes supports individuals living with dementia—and what families, care professionals, and the wider community can do to make a meaningful difference.
