At Excelcare, we are passionate about providing a collaborative approach to care, taking into account the choices and preferences of the people who live in our homes and their loved ones.
To further support everyone, we host regular online webinars, in which family members and friends of the people living in our homes can come together in a safe and open space to become part of an open discussion supported by key members of our team. The topics of these webinars can range from explaining visiting guidelines, to discussing lifetime planning, to our monthly ‘Let’s Discuss Dementia’ series.
Please see below for details of our upcoming webinars, as well as links to recordings of our previous webinars.
Dementia Support Webinars
Following the success of our ‘Let’s Discuss Dementia’ webinar that took place during the 2021 lockdown, we now run a monthly series of dementia webinars.
These webinars, hosted by Ann-Marie Harmer (Dementia Care Lead) and Zoe Halliday (Head of Clinical Transformation) have become a safe space for many, where they can come together and share their experiences with people who understand their perspective, and may have experienced similar.
