Hello all, I'm Pete and look forward to joining in with discussions. There is such a wealth of knowledge and experience to be shared here, and I feel humbled by the many wonderful people caring for those with dementia.
I'm a Registered Nurse and will soon be joining a brand new care home, which will have a dedicated unit for caring for people with dementia. It is a chance to build from scratch, and it is my aim to help the staff deliver the highest possible standards of care to all of the residents. With this in mind - may I ask what you would want in a home caring for your loved ones, based upon your experience of caring/care homes? I'm determined to get things right for residents and their families from the very beginning, hence my request; your experiences, good or not so good, would help shape that.
Thanking you in anticipation of your help.
Take care.
