At Absolute Healthcare, we pride ourselves on employing local people, to serve local people. We invest in their training and help them achieve their career goals, and in return we gain valued, loyal staff who stay with us and provide continuity of care to clients.

One of our long term carers, Hannah Willey, from Medstead, started with us as a trainee, and received extensive training and support which has helped her on her journey to University, towards her long term dream of entering into midwifery.

Hannah wanted to share her story, to help inspire other young people in the Alton area to take up caring as a rewarding career and to let clients know a little bit more about the wonderful people we have on our team!

A recent BBC report reveals how one of the drugs that the NHS are phasing out for Dementia patients later in life, can actually help keep elderly patients at home for longer - according to new research.

A study of 295 people by UCL found that 20% of those taking donepezil were living in a nursing home within a year compared with 37% who were not given the drug.

Absolute Healthcare hope this awareness raising will go some way towards Donepezil being reconsidered for elderly people, as we regularly see the benefits of elderly people with dementia being able to be cared for in their own home and familiar surroundings.
