Simon Doherty, Home Manager at RMBI Care Co. Home The Tithebarn, in Crosby, Liverpool has been named Dementia Carer for the North West region at the Great British Care Awards. The awards ceremony, which took place on 9 November 2024 in Manchester, paid tribute to those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding excellence within their field of work in the care sector.

Simon Doherty says:

It’s a huge honour to be recognised for our dementia care services and I accept this award on behalf of my fantastic team. We strive to create an environment that provides opportunities for residents to live a happy and fulfilled life.

My vision is that every resident should be supported to live an independent life. It’s essential to know about the person’s history, life experiences, and what they enjoyed doing. This provides useful starting point to helping them in the now,

adds Simon.

Passionate about delivering outstanding dementia care, Simon has successfully achieved a Dementia Care Mapping qualification, a method of staff observation in care settings to measure the experience of people living with dementia. Using this knowledge, Simon has improved the Home’s dementia house, focusing on the atmosphere, environment and enhanced activities by installing a bar and a shop, so residents and relatives can socialise with music and pub games.

A relative on carehome.co.uk says:

My mother has been a resident of The Tithebarn for over five years now and in all that time she has received the utmost care and attention.
