A home care company that has got two outlets in Bucks has recently been named one of the best in the UK.
Ashridge Home Care, which has got homes in Amersham and Speen, was named the ‘Most Outstanding Home Care Agency’ in the annual awards ceremony held by the Home Care Awards this month.
The awards are a benchmark for industry standards and service excellence in the UK home care, domiciliary care and live-in care sectors.

This year, the Home Care Awards has focused on recognising providers that have stood out with their innovation, response to Covid-19, the excellence of their provision and business performance.
The company impressed the panel of judges for the ‘breadth and depth’ of its service, with great strengths in live-in care, an ‘extraordinary response’ to the Covid-19 pandemic and an ‘outstanding’ reputation as an independent home care provider.
And as well as claiming the overall prize, they also won the Best for Live-In Care Expertise and Best Response categories to the coronavirus pandemic.
Commenting on the awards win, managing director Trudi Scrivener said: “We’ve been campaigning to improve care options for many years now, but it’s only with the countless efforts of others that this is possible.

“Once again, winning these awards mark the success of the whole team”
“During this time of unprecedented uncertainty and concern it is certainly lovely to receive some good news, throughout this pandemic, our carers have gone above and beyond to protect their clients and provide them with the support and care they need, we would be truly lost without them.”
“These awards are all about raising awareness of live-in care as a better and safer form of care for the elderly.
“Our national involvement in raising awareness of live-in home care is having a positive effect on the industry, as we are dedicated to raising the standards of care provided to people in their own homes.”
