Chartwell House to Host Book Launch for Groundbreaking Dementia Care Resource

Chartwell House hosts the launch of Waiting for The Bus, a new dementia care book by Sam Dondi-Smith and Professor David Sheard, supporting person-centred dementia care.

Chartwell House, part of the Boutique Care Homes family, is delighted to announce it will be hosting the official launch of Waiting for The Bus, an inspiring new book by Sam Dondi-Smith and Professor David Sheard. Taking place at Chartwell House in Broadstairs, the event promises to be a meaningful occasion, bringing together care professionals, community members, and families to celebrate this important contribution to dementia care.

Co-authored by two leading voices in the sector, Waiting for The Bus offers invaluable guidance for dementia care teams, helping them to understand, interpret, and ease the distress sometimes experienced by people living with dementia. With its practical insights and compassionate approach, the book aligns closely with Boutique Care Homes’ belief in delivering care so good, it’s unexpected.

His work, in collaboration with Professor David Sheard, resonates deeply with our ethos of creating a warm and loving family where everyone feels at home. This book will be an incredible resource for care teams everywhere, helping them to support people living with dementia in the most understanding and compassionate way possible.”
