Judy Carole Kauffmann
Judy lived overseas for twenty two years running her own property
business. She returned to England in 2001 and volunteered at Sue Ryder hospice
and has
a certificate in Interpersonal Skills for Volunteers from the University of
Wales, Lampeter. Judy passed an Open University Course in Death, Dying and
Bereavement and then became the Registered Manager of a Domiciliary Care Agency
in Hampshire which she ran for two years achieving her NVQ4 in Care Management.
Judy is passionate about caring for people during their end of
life journey and empathising with those left behind, and her training and writings
reflect this ethos. In the areas of Dementia Care and End of Life, Judy not
only trains people to achieve the highest level of non medical care, but is
also available to mentor carers, empowering them to take the fear out of end
of life. She is able to show them how love comes down to three very simple
ingredients of care that they can all achieve.
Judy is a volunteer with Samaritans and lives in Hampshire with her partner and her son.
Mary Jordan
Mary Jordan is author of “The Essential Carer’s Guide” (Hammersmith Press, 2006) and writes regularly for Nursing and Carer’s journals. Her considerable experience is borne both from the care of relatives and friends and of the NHS systems. Her experience includes working for the NHS in a management role, teaching General Practice Managers about General Practice Management and writing for the medical press
Her personal experience of caring within the home is augmented by an understanding and familiarity with NHS ‘systems’, of how hospitals and Doctors’ surgeries work and of the routine and standards within Care and Nursing Homes.
Mary’s experience as a non professional carer has led her to empathise with others in similar circumstances. She has joined ELM as an Associate Director because she and Judy Carole believe that their roles are complementary, and that together they can make a difference to the lives of carers, regardless of their status.
