A HEREFORD-based care company has been named as one of the best home care providers in the region by a national organisation.

Kemble at Home received a 9.9 out of 10 rating which means it is in the top 10 of the West Midlands region’s home care providers.

The Top 10 regional lists and the overall UK Top 10 of the best home care providers have been chosen by customers in the community who are receiving home care.

Leading home care reviews site www.homecare.co.uk has collated all the information and produced the Top 10 Care Provider list – which covers every region of the country.

Cathy Watkins, registered manager at Kemble at Home, said it was a great honour to be included in the list and was testament to all the hard work of the staff in ensuring the very best in care, helping customers to stay independent and in their own home.

She said: "We are just so pleased at the news that we have been named in the Top 10 Home Care Provider list for 2017, with the best score of 9.9 out of 10 in Herefordshire.

“We would like to thank all our staff for their incredible efforts and the 110 per cent they put into all their work every single day.

“Their dedication to providing the best care so people can remain in their own home is what keeps Kemble at Home at the very forefront of the industry."

The awards are based on nearly 5,000 reviews rated by elderly and disabled people in need of care and their families and friends between July 2015 and April this year.

Providers are rated on their staff, care and support, value for money, management and the level of dignity afforded a customer.
