Angela

I have recently left my role within the NHS with a strong background of communication with individuals.

As a Dementia Befriender, I focus on meaningful connections with individuals living with dementia. My role revolves around providing companionship and emotional support to ensuring the person has a purpose for their day, this enables the carer to enjoy their time in whatever activities they would like to do.

I facilitate activities that are person centred to them whether it be painting, walking listening to music, playing games or going to the local shops, whilst taking into account their health and wellbeing.

Through good communication and active listening, I strive to create an environment that values individuality and dignity, empowering individuals to participate as independently as possible.

I am dedicated to promoting mental and emotional well-being by building trust and understanding, while celebrating each person's unique journey and individuality.

I came to Peninsula Care Ltd on a break from university, where I am training to become an RGN.

I am also currently working as a phlebotomist, and am studying hard. But when I am not studying, I enjoy walking my dog, Bella.
