Welcome

Amy has been nominated to be Care Campaign for the Vulnerable Outstanding Carer

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable was founded over five years ago by former News Agency Reporter and Marketing /Promotions Executive Jayne Connery from Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. It was set up to champion and to rally support for safety monitoring to be made mandatory in communal areas in ALL dementia care homes across the UK. The preventable neglect and failings in her own loved one's care led Jayne to become a Champion of better care standards - helping familes who contact her needing support and guidance. Our passion is to champion the rights of our elderly, the vulnerable, their families and family carers. Care Campaign for the Vulnerable was recently invited to take part in the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Roundtable on Technology and asked to deliver a key speech at the Plymouth’s International Dementia Conference in April 2018 about the important work Care Campaign for the Vulnerable undertakes. Our safety monitoring in care homes initiative made headlines with front page coverage in the National press, gaining full support of MP's, including Dominic Grieve MP former Attorney General, now promising to take our safety monitoring to be mandatory in communal areas in all care homes to Parliament. Jayne continues to help support families and carers affected by inadequate care as well as promoting good care practice within the care sector industry.

Jayne ‘s own personal experience ended in January 2016 when she took her mother out of the care home sector and back home to be cared for. Families and carers telling us they often witnessed (in communal areas ) resident’s falling, vulnerable elderly not being attended to in a acceptable waiting time, inappropriate manual handling, lack of training in challenging behaviours and in dementia care, unacceptable and inadequate ratio of care staff for vulnerable residents elderly living with dementia, not receiving agreed one to one care and carers struggling to cope when not being supported by care home managers. This became the focus behind the tireless promoting and championing of safety monitoring in communal areas, exits and entrances to be made mandatory in all dementia/ care and nursing homes in the UK where much of the preventable and unpreventable incidents can occur and attracting many tens of thousands of supporters, including care staff, businesses, care sector professionals/providers and MP's.

Jayne divides her time between being a Care-Partner, raising awareness on the important work we do at CARE CAMPAIGN for the VULNERABLE - this includes being invited into care homes aswell as acting as a Independant Advocate/Campaigner for people living with dementia - supporting families and family carers who contact us effected by inadequate care. Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is frequently asked to attend seminars /conferences/after dinner, to talk about the importance of safety in dementia care for those living with dementia and their families. Jayne also fundraises for dementia charities as well as attempting daring challenges to raise awareness to the Care Campaign for the Vulnerable initiative. As a active member of the Rotary, she also promotes safety and better dementia care at her local Gerrard's Cross /Chalfont St Peter and surrounding Rotary Clubs.

There are 850,000 people with dementia in the UK, with numbers set to rise to over 1 million by 2025. This will soar to 2 million by 2051. 225,000 will develop dementia this year, that's one every three minutes. 1 in 6 people over the age of 80 have dementia. New figures released by the Office of National Statistics show that for the first time, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are the leading cause of death for England and Wales. Of the 529,655 deaths registered during 2015, dementia accounted for 61,686 (11.6%).
