🌟 Young Hero Alert! 🌟

We were so touched to hear from Max’s family recently - and now we’re even more inspired by this amazing young fundraiser! 💙

8-year-old Max has just completed the Mini Parish Walk and raised an incredible £355 for our charity! 🎉👏

Max took on this challenge in honour of his beloved Grandad, who was diagnosed with dementia earlier this year. Determined to make a difference, Max wanted to support a cause that means so much to him and his family - and he’s done just that.

A huge THANK YOU to Max for his big heart and determination, and to everyone who donated to support his journey. 

Take a look at some lovely photos of Max on the day! 📸💜Image attachmentImage attachment

Our wonderful lead Admiral nurse Jeanette Hogg!

Our wonderful lead Admiral nurse Jeanette Hogg!Each of our teams hold a vital piece of the puzzle in making up Hospice Isle of Man.

Here, we get to know Jeanette Hogg from our Admiral Nurses Team a bit better!💜 The Forget Me Not - Isle of Man Admiral Nurses provide specialist support to people living with dementia and their carers. They offer expert guidance through the mid to end stages of dementia, help with transitions into nursing homes, and continue their support post-bereavement.

What’s your role?
"Lead Admiral Nurse managing the Forget Me Not Admiral Nurse Service based at Hospice. The Admiral Nurse Service supports people living with dementia and their carers, mid to end stage dementia, through nursing home transition and post-bereavement."

How long have you been at Hospice?
"I first came to Hospice as a student nurse in 2010. I worked on the bank as a Healthcare assistant in the in-patient unit and day unit until 2013. I then moved to Ramsey Cottage Hospital in 2014, where I was the dementia lead for the ward. I came back to Hospice in 2019 as the Project Co-ordinator for Compassionate Isle of Man. In the November 2019, the Admiral Nurse post came up, I applied and was successful and have been here ever since."

What does a day look like in your role?
"As the Service lead, I have several hats in my role. I have a caseload of people living with dementia and their carers who I support in the community, and this is often around managing complex behaviours and communication difficulties that we see in dementia, or it could be providing emotional and practical support to families. Some days I could be working with carers in a group training session (Your Time, Your Place) and reminiscing at our dementia wellbeing groups, Your Time, Your Place or Your Network. I also have responsibility for developing and evaluating the service and managing our other two fantastic Admiral Nurses, Chris and Pauline.

What’s your favourite thing about working at Hospice?
"The fact that I am making a difference and providing person-centred holistic care to people living with dementia and their carers. It’s also a lovely place to work!"

Share a highlight story or a favourite memory from your time at Hospice.
"I think it’s when you put an intervention in place with a family, whether this be practical, psychological or emotional and it works and are able to reduce the stress levels for that family. It means I can go home knowing I have done a good job."
