It has been 20 years since Admiral Joe's family set up the Admirall Nurse service dedicated to helping people with dementia and their carers. To mark the anniversary, and to make the biggest impact for families affected by the condition, Dementia UK aims to increase the number of Admiral Nurses by 50 per cent - from 140 to 210 nurses across the country - by the end of 2016.
"We're pleased to announce that we've appointed four new Admiral Nurses
this week in West Sussex." Hilda Hayo, Chief Admiral Nurse, says: "There
are not enough Admiral Nurses, and Dementia UK is striving for more
Admiral Nurses who are evenly geographically spread across the UK. We
will only achieve the appointment of more Admiral Nurses by the
government, health and social services, and charities working together –
the initiative in the north of West Sussex is proof of this.”
But this is not the only news to celebrate as ...
SweetTree, the private home care provider, in partnership with Dementia UK, has appointed a dedicated Admiral Nurse for North London.
Based at the North London office, Admiral Nurse Rikki Lorenti will offer expert advice, information, and psychological support to family carers and clients living with dementia.
Rikki commented: “SweetTree has given me this amazing opportunity to develop a service which complements and develops the current care packages it offers. Providing psychological support and facilitating carers to continue caring for their loved ones is so important; we are enabling families to stay together. I have the best job in the world!”
Hilda Hayo, Chief Admiral Nurse and Chief Executive, Dementia UK comments: “The appointment of Rikki as an Admiral Nurse to SweetTree is an example of how the role of an Admiral Nurse can be adapted to fit with any service provider’s model of care. Dementia UK is finding that more carers want to be able to keep their loved one living at home for as long as possible, and having an Admiral Nurse, like Rikki, in the North London community will enable carers to do this.”
Nicki Bones, Operations Director of SweetTree and a dementia specialist, said: “The role an Admiral Nurse plays in helping family carers is hugely beneficial to those lucky few who can gain access to them. By offering our clients access to an Admiral Nurse we will be building on the life changing care and support that our dementia team currently provides.”
