A DEMENTIA care service has been ranked in the UK’s top home care groups for the seventh year in a row.

The team at Belong at Home Warrington, a not-for-profit community service operated by dementia specialist Belong, is celebrating after the facility achieved a perfect 10 out of 10 review score.

Based on independent testimonials on leading reviews website, homecare.co.uk, Belong at Home teams throughout the North West and West Midlands have been named in the country’s Top 20 Large & Mid-size Home Care Groups 2024 – the only not-for-profit service in the country to have won the award every year since 2018.

The result comes from feedback from clients and their families, with more than 50 reviews for Belong at Home Warrington team, who are based on Loushers Lane, in the past 24 months, earning it a 100 per cent satisfaction review score and a closely fought regional award.

 A daughter of one client said: “The service and caring levels of all of the team are above and beyond any other care companies I have experienced.

“Mum classes every one of them as personal friends rather than carers and she can be choosy about who she calls a friend.”

The achievement recognises outstanding performance of highly trained carers assisting older people with one-to-one personal care, housekeeping, food preparation, as well as running errands, helping with excursions and offering companionship.

The accolade comes hot on the heels of more recent award success, this time at the Stars of Social Care Awards, with area manager Nicola Hewitt receiving a finalist placing for the Fabulous Frontline Leader Award, while community support worker Julie Hooper was highly commended by judges in the Reducing Social Isolation Award category. 

Andrew Shield, head of operations at Belong at Home, said: “We are very pleased that the hard work and dedication of our teams is recognised by our customers and their families, and we are grateful for their feedback – it really is encouraging.

"They are the experts in what they need, and we are privileged to support them to live their lives as independently as they can.”
