Care South at Home, which has care homes in Dorset, was recognised in this year’s Home Care Awards.

The recognition was based on glowing reviews from clients and their families shared through homecare.co.uk.

The service currently holds a group rating of 9.9 out of 10 on the platform.

To mark the achievement, the Care South at Home team hosted two afternoon tea events in Taunton and Ringwood, welcoming clients and their families to celebrate.

Martin Ross, Director of Care at Home, said: “We are delighted to be recognised as one of the top home care providers in the South West.

“This award is particularly meaningful because it reflects the experiences and feedback of clients and their families.

“Every day our dedicated teams visit our clients across Dorset and Somerset to provide personalised care and support that enables them to continue living independently.

“We would like to thank everyone who took the time to share their experiences, as well as our fantastic colleagues for their commitment, compassion and the dedicated care they provide to clients.”

The service has been rated ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission at both of its offices.

Care South at Home offers daily support, companionship, prescription collection and shopping assistance, along with specialist dementia and end-of-life care.

Care South is a not-for-profit provider of residential and home care services.
