MANOR Park in Old Malton, the newest addition to Sandstone Care, opening in September, recently held a free dementia care workshop providing invaluable insights and support to caregivers and those interested in learning more about the condition.
The session covered key topics essential for effective dementia care, including communication techniques, understanding and responding to behavioural changes and tips for creating a safe and supportive environment at home.
Attendees had the opportunity to hear from experts in the field and gain practical advice and strategies to enhance the care they provide to their loved ones. The workshop also offered a platform for participants to connect with others who share similar experiences and challenges.
Victoria Shaw from Sight Support Rydale was on hand to give guests an insight into how different eye conditions affect people’s vision, particularly those living with dementia.
Jay Chaplin, learning and development partner at Sandstone Care, said: “We are delighted with the response to our dementia care workshop. Supporting those caring for individuals with dementia is at the heart of what we do at Sandstone.
“It was wonderful to see so many people engaging with our experts and gaining practical advice that will make a real difference in their caregiving journeys.
“Being a part of the local communities we work in is important to us and this is the first of what we expect to be many engagements with people in the Malton area.”
The home’s marketing suite is open and recruitment open days are being held on Friday and Saturday for anyone interested in the career opportunities available.
