As we age it’s natural to experience occasional forgetfulness with age, but when memory lapses interfere with daily life it could signal something more serious. Conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia can develop gradually, making early recognition and support crucial.

A Memory clinic is a specialist healthcare service that provides expert assessment, diagnosis and personalized care plans, helping individuals and their families navigate these changes with confidence. In the UK, access to a memory clinic usually begins with a referral from a GP.

What is a befriending service for older people?

A befriending service provides companionship and emotional support to older people who may feel lonely or isolated. It goes beyond traditional care to focus on building meaningful relationships through regular visits and conversations.

This service can be beneficial for adults who are physically independent but would appreciate not just care but also the emotional support and meaningful conversations.

Benefits of a befriending service:

- Emotional support
- Improves mental health
- Routine and structure

For more information on befriending services and how they are provided you can visit our website here https://www.prestige-nursing.co.uk/elderly-care/befriending-service-for-the-elderly/

We are always striving to improve the service we offer our clients and to go above and beyond for them and our colleagues. One way in which we achieve this is by completing monthly audits, which enable us to highlight any areas that could do with a tweak. Over a period of a few months we identified an area of improvement could be made in the daily documentation. So we set to work to produce a refresher course for our colleagues.

It was wonderful to receive such a positive review of the course that was delivered and we just had to share it with you all 💜💜💜.

If you would like to work for a company that is always looking to improve, offers support to all colleagues through ongoing training then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
