Sheffcare appoints Dementia and Wellbeing Manager

Sheffield care home charity Sheffcare has appointed a Dementia and Wellbeing Manager.

Kathryn Rawling has many years of experience within the Sheffcare family and her most recent roles have included Community Liaison Officer and Volunteer Coordinator.

“My new role as the Dementia and Well-being Manager demonstrates Sheffcare’s ongoing commitment to our residents and also to their families’ and friends’ well-being,” Kathryn said.

“We want to ensure all aspects of good care are explored whilst taking into consideration physical, mental and emotional well-being of our residents.

“We are always looking at new and innovative ways of helping our residents with dementia to live happy and fulfilling lives in our homes, supporting families to gain knowledge and providing safe spaces to share experiences.

“By offering this level of support, we hope we can help them maintain meaningful relationships.”

Sheffcare has a chain of nine residential homes across the city, including Valley Wood in Cat Lane at Heeley, which was launched last year to specifically meet the needs of residents living with dementia.
