We are 3!
On 16th September 2019, Ashwell Home Care Services was born from a desire to change the way that care is delivered in Worcestershire, and from there, we’ve gone from strength to strength, now employing 30 people and helping a record number of adults across Malvern, Worcester, Upton Upon Severn and Pershore to continue living as independently as possible.
So much has changed since we started the business – not only have we changed offices, but we’ve become even more of a family business, bringing in our Son Matthew and Daughter Emily into the business and more recently, Debbie’s Mum Margaret has joined us too – so now three generations of family are working here, offering care services such as housekeeping services.
History of Ashwell Home Care
Over the last three years, we’ve been involved with so much of our clients’ lives – including Weddings, and sadly, Funerals too. Our clients and their families continue to be a part of our extended Family, and we offer support on a daily basis – including weekends and bank holidays, care doesn’t stop for public holidays.
We’ve met some amazing people during our three years, from exceptional carers (many of whom were previously employed elsewhere but were clearly destined to be in the care industry because they are so amazing at it!) to fabulous clients too – some of the stories we’ve heard from clients lives are worthy of being in a book.
We face challenges daily, with a constant struggle to recruit staff that match our values, but we are proud of the team that we have around us and their determination to make a difference every single day.
This year, we’ve been nominated for many of the Worcester News Health & Social Care Awards and delighted that one of our Care Companions, Chloe has been named as a finalist.
We’ve been named in the Top 20 Care Agencies in the West Midlands, based on client reviews – for the 2nd year running!
Dementia is increasing in our communities, and we have invested in virtual reality headsets to help our teams understand what it’s like to live with dementia – so that they can provide a more empathetic service to our clients.
Three years in – and our plans are still in their infancy – we’ve got so much more that we want to achieve – so watch this space!
