“I recently received my degree as a Specialist Practitioner in Adult Nursing from Brighton University. Working with Prestige Nursing & Care in Worthing has been a very positive step in my career as it allowed to me work directly with the elderly and build a strong base of experience in dementia and Alzheimer’s. I hope to continue advancing my career with Prestige, as they offer many opportunities in specialist care for older people.”

“I never would have thought I’d go back to work so soon after retiring, but I felt I needed a way to connect with others again and thought, why not help those who needed it most. Through Prestige Nursing & Care, I’m able to assist the elderly who have lost their independence through an accident or sickness. I didn’t have any previous care experience, but with Prestige’s introductory care training I felt confident. The bonus is that I still have time to see my grandchildren and enjoy life while I’m still able.”
