Admiral Nurses
Dementia Resource Community works with Dementia UK to provide Admiral Nurses – a service that supports the carers of our community who have dementia. The focus of each service is to maintain independence and improve the quality of life for carers and families and to provide the practical advice they need. Admiral Nurses are registered nurses, and have significant experience of working with people with dementia before becoming an Admiral Nurse.
We currently operate in two settings in the community, Admiral Nurses work in partnership with professional carers, family carers and people with dementia. Each of our commissions has a distinct set of potential beneficiaries please see..
Admiral Nurses can provide:
Skilled assessments to determine the needs of family carers and the needs of the person with dementia
Information and practical advice for carers and their families on supporting those with dementia
To work with carers and families to provide emotional and psychological support throughout the caring journey
Advice on how to care for someone with dementia and help to develop skills to encourage positive approaches to living with dementia
To work together with other professionals and organisations to provide additional support if you need it.
