Welcome to the North Devon team our new Care Manager Sian Jones!

Over the past 20 years Sian has acquired a vast amount of knowledge and experience within the care sector which is partly why we believe she is perfect for HomeLife Carers.

Sian hosts an approachable and supportive attitude towards her care staff with an ‘open door’ policy and a desire to see all staff progress both personally and professionally.

In addition to her role as Care Manager, Sian also visits our service users in the community alongside our dedicated team of care workers across North Devon.

Sian’s aim is to offer a more personal service, and with a smaller, close-nit team in place we believe this will have a positive effect on both our care staff and service users alike.

These are exciting and promising times ahead for HomeLife Carers and look forward to you joining us on this journey.

 

Congratulations to Caroline Cowling who has been chosen as a finalist for the ‘Home Care Worker’ award for the Care and Support West Awards. Your dedication and hard work does not go unnoticed and we are proud to have you on our team!

Thanks to everyone for their support, please keep sharing our Facebook posts and page!

HomeLife Carers began in 2007 with a small office in Tiverton providing care to just 7 Service Users. Today in 2019 we have four offices; Barnstaple which is North Devon’s largest provider of domiciliary care, Okehampton, Tiverton and Plymouth.

We are exceptionally proud of our teams for their dedication and support in getting HomeLife to where it is today.

Check out our facebook for more staff journeys.

A massive well done to the whole team – it really does take every single one of you to achieve such great results.

‘Staff spoke confidently about people’s specific needs and how they liked to be supported. Through our conversations with staff it was clear they were very committed and kind and compassionate towards people they supported’

These are just some of the comments made by our Service users:

“When it comes to safety, I can’t praise them highly enough. I’d recommend them to Buckingham Palace.”

“We know the staff well now they act like we are friends, always very cheery” and “They (staff) don’t just come here to do a job. They treat me as a real person with rights, needs and feelings.”
