Our Care Professionals receive comprehensive training to support various needs, from our City & Guilds assured dementia programme to specialist training in conditions like Parkinson’s. Their expertise extends to practical support with catheters, stomas, and other complex care needs, ensuring family carers can take breaks with complete confidence. Whether providing day visits or overnight care, our team’s experience and thorough training mean we can adapt to each unique situation. Each month at Davers Court’s dementia café, families can listen to advice while their loved ones spend time at the day centre. We often work with the Parkinson’s Group, give talks at social clubs about staying safe from scams, and help out at the Friends Cafés in Hopton and Norton. Come Christmas, you’ll spot us at St Edmundsbury Cathedral market raising money for local care projects.
