Guild Care’s Kerri Sparrowe to speak at national Dementia Care Conference

The online conference is being held by Government Events which organises public sector conferences, training courses and case study focused insights and intelligence.

Kerri Sparrowe said, “I’m looking forward to sharing knowledge and advice about how integrating life stories into every aspect of care can make such a difference to people with dementia.

“We’ve developed this at Haviland House with positive results, for example, by creating memory boxes for each of the people we care for here. The carers can then go through the boxes with them, perhaps asking about an old photo of where they grew up, or a name badge from where they once worked. It also gives the carers an accessible way to connect with people.”
