Dementia Nurse Practitioner

Meadow Bank care home has provided care for people living with dementia for many years and for over 2 years Sabrina House has provided HC-One’s first Specialist Dementia Care Community (SDCC), following considerable investment in the layout and design of the living environment, workforce, L&D and assessment documentation .

Sabrina House SDCC is a therapeutic care setting that demonstrates that quality of care and quality of life are of equal significance. It provides a bespoke low arousal environment embracing space and calming de-escalation rooms, along with enhanced staffing, specialist roles and training for Colleagues in positive approaches to behaviour, psychosocial therapies and de-escalation interventions. The therapeutic ambition will be that people will be understood as having needs to be met, rather than being defined by their condition, and as a result will have a quality of life previously denied them.

About HC-One

At HC-One, kindness is more than a word. It is a belief that caring for people means caring about what matters most to them so we can support them to lead their best possible life.

To be able to provide the kindest possible care there are 5 qualities that everyone who is part of the HC-One team shows up with, supports and coaches in each other every single day. We call these 5 qualities Kindness the HC-One Way: We are curious and ask questions, look for clues and seek to understand. We are compassionate and try to walk in the shoes of others. We're creative yet practical, using our imagination to make things happen. We are courageous in how we support residents to live the life they want, and we can always be counted on.

We champion inclusivity, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued and can be themselves. Our diverse and inclusive workforce allows us to learn from each other and better represent the communities we serve.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

Our purpose is to support those in our care to lead their best lives. As the Kind Care Company, it is our mission to provide the kindest support and
