EMPLOYEES at a care provider have given their bosses the thumbs up.

Home Instead Senior Care, a company specialising in at-home care for older people in Bolton has been honoured with a Best Employer in Care Award.

The accolade of Five Star Employer was awarded by WorkBuzz (formerly Smith and Henderson), an independent company which conducted surveys with Home Instead’s customers and employees.

In response to the independent survey, one caregiver employed by Home Instead Bolton said, “I always feel supported and cared for. The clients I work with are amazing and I love the fact I can spend an hour, minimum, to complete my work and go above and beyond for the client.”

Home Instead’s caregivers are matched with clients that share their interests, with all care visits lasting for a minimum of one hour. As a result of this unique, person centred approach, clients receive an excellent standard of care and employees develop high levels of job satisfaction.

Steven Frost, CEO of WorkBuzz (formerly Smith and Henderson), the awards organisers said, “We would like to congratulate Home Instead Senior Care Bolton on being a Five Star Employer.

"What makes this award extra special is that it’s based on feedback from thousands of their caregivers and is only awarded to the top 10 per cent of companies that enter the Best Employers in Care Awards.

“The care sector too often receives negative publicity – in contrast Home Instead Senior Care has a strong culture whereby caregivers have the right support and training; are well led and have a strong commitment to deliver outstanding care.”

Steve Williams, co-owner of Home Instead Senior Care Bolton, said, “We are incredibly proud to have achieved a Best Employer in Care Award.

“It means so much because it was awarded as a result of feedback from our employees. Person centred home care is our business and this acknowledgement proves that it works, not only for our clients, but for our caregivers too.”
