Live-in care agency Corinium Care made it to the finals of the Great South West Care Awards.
The company was shortlisted for the Care Employer Award for organisations with less than 250 staff.
The awards are a celebration of excellence across the care sector. They aim to promote best practice and pay tribute to outstanding standards, enterprise and dedication.
Corinium Care’s MD Camilla Miles was delighted that her company was up there with the best in Britain.
“There are three strands to our business: our clients, our carers and our office staff, and our commitment to care permeates every aspect,” she said.
“We recognise that care and compassion is what our clients most want. At the same time, the live-in carers we place with them need to know that we are there to support them.
“We make a concerted effort to get to know all our clients and carers personally and do our utmost to create a good match so both are happy. We’re proud of our record of putting two people together who go on to develop a bond of mutual respect and loyalty.
“Our head office staff also maintain regular contact with our carers so they know we’re only a phone call away.”
She added that all new staff at Nailsworth get a bunch of flowers on their first day at work.
The South West Care Awards dinner was held in Bristol on November 5.
The 20 categories represented all areas of the care sector in the South West, from residential homes to the NHS and big business.
