Based in the emergency admission wards at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Alexandra Hospital in Redditch, the support workers were put in place at the end of November 2010, to help carers of people with a cognitive impairment or dementia.
Funded by Worcestershire City Council as part of the Dementia Strategy, their role is to ensure carers feel supported and informed by referring them for assessments, and giving them information about other voluntary and statutory services as well as ensuring they have someone to turn to during the hospital process and when the person being cared for goes home.
