We can't wait to celebrate the top quality care taking place in Surrey at our Care Awards TOMORROW! 🥳 surreycare.org.uk/events/surrey-…

@DHSCgovuk We're encouraging our members to participate in the consultation and have their voice heard... it's a real chance to have a say on the future of care support.

We are investing £500 million into the first ever Fair Pay Agreement for adult social care to improve pay and conditions. A public consultation is live. Help shape the future of the sector. Have your say by 16 January 2026: consultations.dhsc.gov.uk/fair-pay-agree…

Understanding Care - what is home care? As it sounds... home care is about helping older people to stay living in their own homes through assistance and care. It might include personal care like washing, making meals or managing medication. #SocialCare

Understanding Care - what is supported living? Supported living is housing with care and support for disabled people. It is all about living as independently as possible, with support for daily tasks where needed. #SocialCare

We've seen dogs, cats and even llamas visiting care homes and making residents happy! What pet have you taken in? 🐶🐱🦙

Understanding Care - what is a nursing home? It is similar to a care home, a safe place to live for older people. However, it also has qualified nurses on call 24/7 so is suitable for people with complex health needs. #SocialCare

Stay ahead of recruitment pressures this autumn and winter. As colder months approach, the need for reliable homecare services often grows - bringing with it the challenge of recruiting and vetting new staff quickly.

The Homecare Association Disclosure Service has been supporting safer recruitment in the care sector for for over 20 years. 👉 Find out more about our fast, reliable DBS checks: homecareassociation.org.uk/disclosure-ser…
