Teresa, winner of the coveted Kent Home Carer of The Year 2019

Award Winning Care

With a promise

We have 4 designated Senior Carers, who also help guide new carers in their role.

Our care workers are the backbone of the company and their commitment to caring for people is exemplary.

All staff undergo inhouse mandatory training before working in the communities and further training throughout the year.

We often invite outside professionals who have specific knowledge in specialist care such as Stoma Care, Parkinsons, Dementia (Virtual Dementia Bus) and End of Life etc. to help train our staff.

We also welcome members of client’s families to attend training, to give them an insight and knowledge.

In September 2019, Teresa won the coveted Kent Home Carer of The Year.

We also had 5 other runners up.
