We were privileged to welcome Deena Heaney MBE, award-winning Dementia Care Specialist, to Woodthorne Care Home this week to deliver dementia training for our team.
The session was both inspiring and informative, and we were delighted to receive such positive feedback from Deena about our staff, praising their enthusiasm, positivity, and commitment to implementing best practice.
At Woodthorne Care Home, we are passionate about continually improving the support we provide for people living with dementia. As a result of this valuable training, we are pleased to be working closely with Deena over the coming months to further develop our dementia care practices and enhance the experience of our residents.
We also recognise the importance of supporting families on their dementia journey. We are therefore looking forward to welcoming Deena back to the home soon for an informal session with relatives, providing an opportunity to share knowledge, ask questions, and gain a greater understanding of dementia and the support available.
A huge thank you to Deena for her guidance, expertise, and encouragement. We are incredibly proud of our dedicated team and their commitment to providing compassionate, person-centred care every day.
