Queen’s Award for Home Instead Senior Care

Chesterfield home care provider, Home Instead Senior Care is celebrating after being awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.

The nationwide business received the top accolade for the innovation its service has brought to the home care sector.

Home Instead introduced its unique service to the UK in 2005 specialising in the care of older adults. It aims to change the face of ageing by delivering companionship-based care built around the individual needs of its clients.

Nigel Metham, Director at Home Instead Senior Care Chesterfield commented:-

“Our aim is to build up good relationships between the caregivers and the clients. Our visits are no less than an hour as this gives time to provide the care needed but also time for the caregiver to sit and chat to the clients over a cup of tea, which is really appreciated.

“Our caregivers make an effort to get to know clients well and find out about their interests.  This award is dedicated to our caregivers who find their work so rewarding and share our ethos of wanting to offer the right kind of support.”

Trevor Brocklebank, Chief Executive of Home Instead Senior Care said, “On behalf of our national network we are honoured to receive this prestigious business accolade.

“Together we provide five million hours of relationship-led homecare each year. We couldn’t do this without our dedicated army of CAREGivers on the ground. This award pays testimony to their devotion to our mission to change the face of ageing in the UK.”
