Why Dementia Training is Essential

Detailed training and education on dementia can greatly enhance the level of care given to individuals living with this condition. It empowers professionals and family carers to effectively address the needs and behaviours of individuals with dementia, promoting trust and confidence. This training focuses on more than just knowledge transfer; it also emphasises the development of crucial skills that enrich the caregiving experience.

Comprehensive Training Programmes

At Home Instead Chingford, our dementia training programme is City & Guilds Assured. We prioritise important aspects like communication, understanding behaviour, client safety, and fostering engagement. The course is facilitated by Linda Allen, our Franchise Owner at Home Instead Chingford, who leads interactive sessions that build a sense of community and promote collective learning among our care professionals.

The training programme offers a combination of workshops and ongoing e-learning through our online learning platform, My Learning Cloud. This ensures that care professionals can easily access the most up-to-date practices and refresh their knowledge whenever needed. This resource ensures that our carers are always equipped to provide exceptional care.
