Today we’re celebrating a wonderful milestone at Silver Assist Homecare — Gina and Hana have officially reached their two-year anniversary with us!

Over the past two years they’ve brought endless kindness, compassion, and more than a few laughs to both the people we support and the rest of the team. Whether it’s brightening someone’s morning, sharing a joke, or simply being that reassuring friendly face at the door, they bring a ray of sunshine wherever they go.

To say thank you for everything they do (and to make sure they take a well-earned break from looking after everyone else!) Gina and Hannah have each received a £75 voucher for a meal out for two. No uniforms, no care plans — just good food and hopefully someone else doing the washing up for a change!

Thank you both for the warmth, dedication, and positivity you bring to Silver Assist every single day. We’re incredibly lucky to have you on the team and can’t wait to see what the next few years bring.

Happy 2-year anniversary Gina and Hana!

Congratulations to our Double Davids! 🎉🎉

This month we’re celebrating not one… but TWO Davids marking their two-year anniversary with Silver Assist Homecare!

Yes, we like David so much we hired him twice.

Over the past two years, both Davids have brought kindness, reliability, humour and genuine compassion to the people we support. Whether it’s brightening someone’s morning, going the extra mile (sometimes literally!), or being that steady, reassuring presence families rely on — they both truly embody what great care looks like.

We’re incredibly proud of the difference they make every single week in our community. Care isn’t just about tasks — it’s about connection — and both Davids do that beautifully.

To say thank you, they’ve each received a £75 voucher as a small token of our appreciation .

Thank you, David and David — we’re so lucky to have you both on the team. Here’s to many more years (and to us not getting confused in the rota!).

A big thank you to Marie, David and Steve for attending their CPR and defibrillator awareness refresher today 👏

It’s always brilliant to see our team keeping their skills sharp and their confidence high. In care, you hope you’ll never need to use CPR — but if you do, knowing exactly what to do can quite literally save a life.

Did you know:

• Performing CPR immediately can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival following a cardiac arrest.
• For every minute without CPR or defibrillation, survival chances decrease by around 10%.
• Using a defibrillator within the first 3–5 minutes can increase survival rates to over 50%.
• You cannot “make things worse” by starting CPR — doing something is always better than doing nothing.

We’re proud of our team for staying committed to ongoing training and development. Confidence, competence and quick action matter — and today was all about making sure those skills stay fresh.

We had a lovely evening yesterday at The Black C**k Inn in, raising money for Dementia Matters in Powys.

It was a brilliant night – a great crowd, lots of laughter and all for a cause that’s very close to our hearts. Even better, we brought some of our amazing carers along, which made it extra special.

Sadly, we didn’t win this time… but we will absolutely never forget that a giraffe’s tongue is purple 🦒💜 That one is firmly locked in for the future.

And just in case you’re wondering — yes, we still remember from last time that wombat poo is cube-shaped. We came fully prepared with that golden nugget of information… however, disappointingly, that question didn’t come up this time. We feel robbed, quite honestly.

Spending time together outside of work really reminds us what a fantastic team we have. The teamwork, quick thinking and sense of humour our carers show every day definitely carried over into quiz mode — even if it didn’t quite get us to first place!

We’re so proud of our care team and grateful to be surrounded by such kind, dedicated people. Thank you to everyone who organised such a great evening — we’ll be back, armed with even more obscure animal facts and ready for redemption!

Today we’re celebrating our wonderful carer Steve reaching his 1 year anniversary with us 🎉

It’s been a pleasure from the very beginning — Steve is loved by both his customers and his colleagues, and he brings such a calm, kind and dependable presence to every visit he does.

Normally we surprise our team with flowers at the one-year mark… but we didn’t think that was quite Steve’s style! So instead, he’s received a lunch for two voucher as a small token of our appreciation and to celebrate the milestone.

Thank you for everything you do, Steve — here’s to many more years ahead 👏

Three years ago, Sam took a leap of faith...

With little more than savings to invest in herself, determination, and a clear vision of what excellent home care could be, she started Silver Assist Homecare on her own and supported her very first customer.

Today, Silver Assist Homecare is a Top 20 care provider in Wales, is Excellent-rated, employing over 20 staff and delivering hundreds of hours of truly person-centred care each week across underserved rural Welsh communities.

Sam left a secure career to build something better for others — and she succeeded.

Sam, you absolutely flippin’ nailed it.

🥂Please join me in celebrating Samantha Evans CMgr MCMI 👩🏻‍🦰 3rd year anniversary as MD of Silver Assist Homecare. 🥂

✨ Investing in our people is investing in better care ✨

At Silver Assist Home Care, we’re big believers that great care starts with a confident, supported team 💛

Over the last 6–12 months, two of our team members Amy and David have been working hard on their management and leadership development, and we’re incredibly proud of the progress they’ve made.

Most recently, they completed a full day of Leadership Development Training with Phil from PDG Consulting — a fantastic session focused on building confidence, strengthening leadership skills, and supporting personal growth in the workplace.

And today, we’re thrilled to share that Amy has officially signed up to her Level 4 qualification with Sharon from Apprenticeship Wales🎓👏

We know that investing in training isn’t just about qualifications — it’s about:
✅ building confidence
✅ developing future leaders
✅ creating a stronger, more supportive workplace
✅ and ultimately delivering the best possible care to our clients and community

A huge well done to the team — we’re excited to see where this journey takes you next! 🌟

💙 Thank You to Our Carers 💙

Over the past few days, snow and ice have made conditions challenging across our local community. While many things can pause in bad weather, frontline care does not — and neither have our carers.

Despite icy roads and difficult conditions, our team continue to reach those who depend on them most, ensuring people remain safe, supported, and not alone during a very difficult time.

Also, a big thank you to our supportive clients and NOK who have helped in anyway they can. 🙌
