Our highly trained Dementia carers are familiar with the various types and stages of this condition and are experienced in helping clients and their families manage the associated daily challenges. We are absolutely committed to helping those who live with Dementia; caring for people in their own home is our aim. To ensure the highest level of care for our clients living with dementia, all of our Health Care Assistants participate in Dementia Awareness Training and receive regular briefings on the most up to date theory and best practice in the field. Pioneer HomeCare’s on-going training programmes for our carers enable us to better support both our clients, their families, and our health care assistants.
