Celebrating Antoinette: Our Trainer at Home Instead Rotherham

Celebrating seven years of caring with Home Instead Rotherham

At Home Instead Rotherham, we take immense pride in our dedicated team. Today, we shine a light on a key member of our Home Instead family, Antoinette, who has been with our team at Home Instead Rotherham for over seven years. 

Seven years ago she started as a Care Professional visiting our clients at home, and has always focused on making a difference in people’s lives. Now as our Assistant Care Manager and Trainer, Antoinette’s commitment and motivation always goes above and beyond and we all love having her as part of our team. 

Delivering dementia workshops in the community

Antoinette recently hosted a community dementia workshop in Eastwood. Her experience, expertise and knowledge in Alzheimer’s and dementia was invaluable and brought comfort, understanding, and practical advice to local families dealing with a dementia diagnosis. We were so impressed with the afternoon, and can’t wait for more of her community talks in the future!

The role of a Trainer at Home Instead Rotherham

Our trainers at Home Instead, like Antoinette here in Rotherham, are essential to the success of our home care team and the wider community. They bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in dementia care, ensuring that our Care Professionals are well-equipped to provide the highest standard of care. Here’s how our trainers make a difference:

1. Expert training for our Care Professionals: Trainers deliver comprehensive training programs covering specialist training for dementia care. By equipping our Care Professionals with these skills, we can ensure they are confident and competent in their roles.
