Westmorland Homecare is one of the Top 20 home care groups in the UK

There are 966 home care groups and 13,339 home care providers in the UK.

The top 20 home care providers in the UK have received an award from the leading home care reviews site, www.homecare.co.uk, which hosts the Top 20 awards to help people find home care that is right for their needs, location and budget.

Nearly a million disabled and older people receive care at home so they can continue to live independently in their own homes. This includes help and support with getting dressed, washed, preparing meals and drinks and administering medication.

With an ageing population, the number of people receiving home care is set to increase.

In 2022, there were around 12.7 million people aged 65 or over in the UK, making up 19% of the population. According to the ONS’s population projections, by 2072 this could rise to 22.1 million people, making up 27% of the population.

This is why homecare.co.uk’s Top 20 awards are crucial in helping people find care as they are based on reviews from people receiving home care, plus their friends and relatives.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of homecare.co.uk, said:

“People are living longer with multiple health conditions. This has led to home care providers, which offer care tailored to people living in their own homes, to become fundamental to health and social care in Britain.

“Westmorland Homecare has proved that it provides a high standard of care and we’d like to congratulate it on being a top home care group! It is a huge achievement to be named as one of the Top 20 home care groups in the UK.

“Our reviews and awards are a crucial source of information for people looking for good quality home care and provide a vital insight into the standard and kind of care given by providers.”

Kelsey Walmsley, Registered Manager at Westmorland Homecare, said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this award we always enjoy sharing the comments and reviews with the team. Our wonderful team can adapt to any situation; they are the hero during an emergency, the companion during the loneliest of times, the bright breezy smile needed to perk you up for the day and the gentle touch when things are just a little too much. I hope that this award will help them to see just how amazing they are.

“Westmorland Homecare truly are one big family and I am proud to work alongside every single team member client and loved one. We truly appreciate the award and those that have contributed to it by being an incredible team member or a lovely client or family member taking the time share their thoughts.”
