Visiting Angels soars high at Great British Care Awards

Kay Radford, the dedicated Head of Care for Visiting Angels South Yorkshire, has been celebrated for her outstanding commitment and expertise in the home-care sector by securing the prestigious Registered Home Care Manager award at this year’s Regional Great British Care Awards.

After receiving a highly commendable mention at last year’s awards, the South Yorkshire team have made a triumphant return this year, showcasing their unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional care services. The branch’s commitment to truly living and breathing Visiting Angels’ carer-centric values have set them apart as exceptional care providers in the area.

“I’m deeply honoured to receive this incredible award,” said Kay. “This recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the entire Visiting Angels team. Our commitment to delivering person-centred care and supporting our caregivers has been at the heart of our success. We’re determined to continue raising the standards in the home care sector and ensuring that our clients receive the highest quality of care.”

The Registered Home Care Manager award recognises individuals who have demonstrated exceptional expertise and skills in managing a home-care business, which ultimately benefits clients and their families. Kay’s visionary approach to providing person-centred care and her unwavering support for staff in adapting to the evolving needs of service users have set her apart as a truly remarkable leader.

Visiting Angels’ ‘carer-centric’ approach sets it apart from other companies in the in-home care sector. Carers working for Visiting Angels feel valued and respected for their commitment to this important job. Through both financial rewards and opportunities for career development, Kay and the Visiting Angels team are determined to address issues surrounding the industry, which often leaves carers feeling little-to-no appreciation.

“Kay and the team’s recognition at the Great British Care Awards reaffirms their unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional care and their determination to elevate standards within the home-care sector,” said Dan Archer, UK CEO of Visiting Angels. “Kay’s attitude, her work ethic and her genuine commitment to person-centred care shine through in everything she does, and we’re so proud of all that Kay and her amazing team have achieved. Our South Yorkshire team really embody the values we built our franchise around, and Kay is a shining example of what we strive to achieve.”
