Reunited for Valentines Day
Like many of our clients, Mrs M was living alone but when our managers visited her for their first meeting they found out that she was still married. Her husband was in a care home miles away and they had only seen each other twice in a year...
Our first class training
We were proud to be the one of many care companies that participated in the #CelebratingHomecare initiative that was run by The Homecare Association and The Care Workers Fund. We shared some examples of our team creating things at home with clients and the relationships that they develop doing so.
Our new pay rates
Our care team have worked tirelessly to keep our clients safe and happy throughout. Always keeping a smile on their faces and rallying together when morale has been low. To say a huge thank you, we have increased our care teams’ pay per hour!

Our 2020 Review
It’s safe to say that this year has been a tough one - for everyone and every sector. As 2020 is coming to an end, we've been trying to focus on the positives and what we've been able to achieve this year, despite the craziness! Here are some of our highlights...
Meet our team – Sinead Draper
Meet Sinead! The manager for our Ripley branch, all the way from Australia. She brings a huge amount of experience, positivity and laughs to the team. Oh and we love her Aussie accent!
Hydration – why it is even more important as we get older
We all know we are supposed to keep well hydrated. But something that is less well known is that our risk of dehydration increases as we age.
Meet our team – Courtney Reeve
Meet Courtney! You'll find her in our Ripley branch helping support our care team and clients with everything and anything. You'll spot her lovely smile a mile away!
