Summary
HC-One Scotland is developing a Specialist Dementia Care Community (SDCC) at Darnley Court care home. Darnley Court has provided care for people living with dementia for many years but following considerable investment in environmental layout and design, workforce and L&D in Carmichael community, we have exciting new opportunities available for those passionate about supporting people who are emotionally distressed by their dementia and require a specialist service to ensure their needs can be met appropriately. As an SDCC, Carmichael will become a therapeutic care setting that demonstrates that quality of care and quality of life are of equal significance. It will provide a bespoke living environment embracing space and calming de-escalation rooms, along with enhanced staffing and specialist training for Colleagues in positive approaches to behaviour, psychosocial therapies, de-escalation interventions and safe restrictive practices. The therapeutic ambition will be that people will be understood as having needs to be met, rather than being defined by their condition. The Dementia Nurse Practitioner will support, deliver, and coordinate person-centred dementia care and therapeutic interventions in a purpose-designed residential setting to improve clinical outcomes for those living with complex dementia presentations, working within a team of nursing, social care, psychology and wellbeing practitioners. An active NMC Pin & Minimum of 2 years practice experience in a dementia care community is essential for this role.
