FOLLOWING the impact of its first Admiral Nurse to help with dementia care, Colten Care has recruited another for its home in Lymington.
The move was announced to more than 60 care professionals attending the provider’s fourth annual Dementia Utopia conference at AFC Bournemouth’s Vitality stadium.
Since its first Admiral Nurse, Kay Gibson, was appointed two years ago, Colten Care has evolved a dementia care strategy benefitting residents, families and communities around its 20 nursing homes, including its five dementia-specific care settings.
While Kay has run regular community drop-in sessions at Colten Care’s Dorset dementia care homes, the new Admiral Nurse will strengthen the level of specialist support at the home in Lymington when she takes up the post in the autumn.
