Burton-on-Trent Home Instead gets thumbs up from CAREGivers

A Burton-on-Trent based home care company has been given the thumbs up by its caring staff, according to a satisfaction survey.

Home Instead Senior Care Burton-on-Trent, which specialises in relationship-led care for older people, has received a seal of approval with 100% of its CAREGivers recommending the Home Instead as a great place to work.

The independent survey results also revealed that 90% felt they were well matched to their clients and 100% are proud to work for the company.

John & Jenny Winfieldale, owners of Home Instead Senior Care Burton-on-Trent said: “We’re incredibly proud of our team. They are truly caring people who are dedicated to improving the lives of their clients. Care work is sometimes overlooked, but it takes a special combination of skills to meet our clients’ needs. To us they are all superheroes.”

The couple continued: “We are always working to improve the way we support our CAREGivers and to make sure we have happy workers. If our CAREGivers aren’t happy then it’s unlikely that our clients will be.”

“The survey told us that 100% of our CAREGivers understand how their role contributes to our goals of becoming the most respected care company by changing the face of ageing.”

One CAREGiver commented, “I cannot think of a better place to work. There is such a good connection and communication between office and caregivers. The company and managers really CARE about their clients and their caregivers. Clients are always matched and you are always given enough time to really care and make a difference.” More than 5,000 CAREGivers and 5,000 clients across the 190-office network were questioned as part of the annual survey by Smith & Henderson.

With significant growth in the number of clients they serve, Home Instead currently has vacancies for CAREGivers in the local area.
