HC-One’s Dementia Care team are delighted to have won ‘Best Dementia Care Team’ award at the National Dementia Care Awards 2023.
Professor Graham Stokes, Director of Dementia Care, and Dementia Care Managers Annette, James, Katy and Natasha were thrilled to win the award, as part of their commitment to helping HC-One’s residents and families across the UK to live well with dementia care.
The team provide direct clinical support, advice, mentoring and supervision to HC-One’s portfolio of 180 dementia care communities, supporting care home teams to enable residents to live their best lives and support their families and friends in maintaining positive, loving relationships.
The National Dementia Care Awards promote awareness and raise the status of all of those who work in dementia care. The HC-One Dementia Care team were selected as the winner of the ‘Best Dementia Care Team Award’ category as the team has developed and maintained an outstanding standard of care within care homes at HC-One, showing evidence of innovation and excellent teamwork that has resulted in positive outcomes for residents living with dementia.
The role of Dementia Care Manager (DCM) was introduced at the end of 2021, to support HC-One’s homes to plan and deliver the right type and range of support required to meet the individual needs of the home and the residents living there.
In a relatively short period of time, this approach has enabled the team to influence strategic and cultural change, embed evidence-based practice, identify, share and celebrate good practice and help to facilitate and grow innovation, which is resulting in meaningful outcomes for Residents and those who support them.
The team are subject matter experts and also provide clinical advice, recommendations and support to all other teams and stakeholders across HC-One, including Learning & Development, Quality Improvement, Clinical Governance and Regulatory Compliance.
Professor Graham Stokes, Director of Dementia Care Services at HC-One said: “Through our dementia care model, we strive to give people living with dementia the care they need and the life they want.
“It is important to recognise those who work tirelessly to provide outstanding care and support residents to live their best lives, and I’m delighted that HC-One’s Dementia Care team has been recognised through these awards.”
