About Karen

65 years old Speaks English
I have been a qualified activity organiser for people with full blown dementia for 6 years. I feel everyone should have a chance to live life to the full with meaningful things to do individually tailored to their needs. I am qualified to keep your family member company, talk to them about things they like and take them on outings where they will benefit from places that mean something to them. I can help them make reminiscence books or continue hobbies related activities to suit their needs set at a pace which is satisfying and not frustrating to them. I can also advise you on best practice to help you understand better if you have questions just ask me. I have years of study and practical knowledge working and caring for people with all stages of dementia. I know how difficult it is sometimes to live 24 hours with a loved one who seems to have changed and can share or take some of the stress from your life by giving them my undivided attention while you take a well earned break for half a day.
