In addition to our direct support services, we have a commitment to the training and education of all those who care for people with dementia – professional and lay persons alike.

Learning from each other is an important feature of our courses. Each course is tailor-made to fit the needs of your team. It is intensive, but, of course, has to be fun too!

We offer bespoke training courses to care homes, day centres, carers’ groups, home care organizations and social work teams in all matters relating to dementia and dementia care. The courses we are asked for most frequently include:

  • Understanding confusion and dementia
  • Person-centred approaches to dementia care
  • Skills in dementia: assessing loss and supporting retained abilities
  • Therapeutic activity and the person with dementia
  • Care planning for the person with dementia
  • Planning activity programmes in group settings
  • Evaluating the therapeutic potential of your care environment
  • Using your local community as a therapeutic resource
  • Effective communication in dementia
  • Recognising and assessing well-being and ill-being in dementia
  • Understanding confused and challenging behaviour in dementia
  • The role of the activity organiser in the care home setting
  • The role of the care home manager in activity provision
