Blackpool's Alcedo Care wins Top 20 home care award

Blackpool-based Alcedo Care Healthcare Group Home has won an award for being one of the Top 20 large home care groups in the UK.

With 762 home care groups and 11,848 home care providers in the UK, to be included in the top 20 round up is an incredible achievement.

Alcedo Care has received this 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 stay living independently in their own homes. This includes help with getting dressed, washed, preparing meals and drinks and administering medication.

This award is based on the home care group’s reviews from the people they care for, plus their friends and relatives.

Andy Boardman, managing director of Alcedo Care, says: “We are delighted to have won this award once again; it is a magnificent achievement for the Group and the whole team. It is the fourth consecutive year that we have been named in the Top 20 large home care groups in the UK, and each time the sense of pride increases.

“We are an innovative, growing business but we never compromise on the quality of care we deliver. We strive to make a difference and ultimately enrich the lives of our clients; that is the cornerstone of the care we provide.”

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of homecare.co.uk, adds: “People are living longer with multiple health conditions and so home care providers which offer care tailored to people living in their own homes have become a key element in health and social care in Britain.

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

The Alcedo Care Services Group now has 20 offices in the North of England and Wales; Birkenhead, Blackburn & Darwen, Blackpool & Fylde, Bury, Chester, Crewe, Lancaster & Wyre, Liverpool (Kirkdale), Liverpool (Speke), Ormskirk, Preston, Southport, South Lakes, St Asaph, St Helens, Trafford, Ulverston, Warrington, Wigan and Wirral.

The family owned and operated Group is on track to meet its target of owning and operating 30 branches across the North of England and Wales by the end of 2025. Alongside its geographical expansion plans, the innovative Group is also on track with its mission to continually expand its portfolio of quality home care services, with a particular emphasis on developing its Complex Care and Live-in Care services alongside its Young Persons Crisis Management residential homes.
