Specialist homecare support for people
with dementia and their carers
A guide for professionals
About JackDawe
The JackDawe Team is a
specialist Home Care service,
providing tailored individual care
and support for people with
dementia in their own homes.
The service works in partnership with
Nottingham City Care, having direct
access to occupational therapists and
mental health nurses.
The aim of the team is to work with
citizens and their carers to develop
a care package that promotes and
encourages their independence.
The care plan focuses on how we can
best support them and help meet their
needs. As a person’s needs change
over time so will the care plan, with
regular and ongoing reviews.
JackDawe is a city-wide team,
catering for a diverse population
including a focused Men’s Team,
Polish Team and Sahara Team,
catering for South Asian women.

that their care needs can be met by an independent sector
provider or where home care is no longer appropriate and
residential care is required.
