Home Instead offices nominated for the Dementia Care Awards

The shortlist for the Dementia Care Awards has been announced, and we’re delighted to see Home Instead nominated a whopping 19 times, more than any other company.

The Dementia Care Awards, which is sponsored by Care UK and Care Talk, celebrates excellence in dementia care, from the businesses spurring innovation, to the fantastic care workers who support people living with the condition.

We’re proud to fly the flag for home care at the Dementia Care Awards. Over the years, our dementia care has given people the chance to stay living in their beloved homes, thanks to specialist dementia care delivered by our Care Professionals. They are trained in the emotional and practical elements of supporting someone with the condition, and we have countless stories of dementia clients becoming more independent and content after receiving our care.

Our franchise offices that have been nominated are:

• Milton Keynes: Dementia Care Employer Award (community)

• Newport & Monmouthshire: Dementia Care Employer Award (community)

• Portsmouth: Dementia Care Team Award

• Chesterfield: Dementia Care Team Award

• Charnwood: Dementia Friendly Business Award

• Durham: Dementia Friendly Business Award

• Wirral/Chester/Liverpool South: Dementia Trainer and Workforce Development Award

We’re proud of the thousands of employees across our franchise network who make Home Instead’s dementia care available in communities across the UK. Those that have been shortlisted for a Dementia Care Award are:

• Kim Sharratt at Charnwood: Dementia Community Care Worker Award

And we’re delighted to see Tim Howell, our Learning & Development Partner at National Office, nominated for ‘Dementia Trainer and Workforce Development Award’. Over the years, Tim has helped strengthen our dementia training to give Home Instead Care Professionals the knowledge and skills to deliver specialist care confidently. Our dementia care training won a Princess Royal Training in 2016, and we continue to modernise our programme to take into account recent developments in Alzheimer’s and dementia.

We look forward to the Dementia Care Awards in June, where Home Instead will join others across the sector to celebrate the superstars supporting the rising number of people living with dementia.
