✨ What a day at the Care Show!

Yesterday, our CEO, Nina Allen, had the wonderful opportunity to be a guest speaker at the Care Show in Birmingham, discussing the funding challenges and opportunities for tech innovation in social care.

It was a fantastic platform to share the real-world challenges from a social care, SME and startup perspective, and she hopes she was able to spark a few ideas 💡 about how we can make innovation more accessible and impactful across the sector.

Nina would like to say a huge thank you to the brilliant senior executives at Access Care Management - Anisa Byrne, James Maynard, and Daniel Casson💚 — for facilitating such an insightful session, and to her fellow panel guests Trudie Fell and Kristoffer Kenttä for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion.

It’s always inspiring to see so much passion for the future of care tech!

🌟 We’re so proud to share these incredible before and after photos! 🌟

One of our wonderful clients who suffers from lymphedema has shown amazing progress — and these pictures truly speak for themselves. 💙

The transformation is a testament to the dedication, care, and attention of our amazing carers. Working closely with the Lymphedema Clinic and Wound Clinic, our team provides consistent, compassionate support to help improve this condition — and the results are outstanding!

We’re thrilled to share that our client has now been discharged from the Lymphedema Clinic and is enjoying greater independence, getting out and about again. 🌷

We couldn’t be prouder of our team and the difference they continue to make every day. 👏 Well done to everyone involved — another life changed for the better! 💫

📸 They say pictures speak a thousand words… and we’ve got two that say it all!

A lovely gesture received by our Thanet Branch. 🫶

We wanted to share a photo of the beautiful flowers and thoughtful card we received and say a big thank you to the family for your kindness, which truly touched us all.

We’re a little late to the party, but we didn’t want to miss the chance to share some Easter cheer! We’ve been busy behind the scenes, making sure all our wonderful carers received their Easter Eggs 🐰🍫.

We’re proud to share that Austen Allen Homecare’s CEO, Nina Allen, was recently interviewed by ITV News Meridian to shed light on the consequences of the latest budget on both our organisation and the wider social care sector.

She was joined by one of our wonderful service users, Keith, and his lovely wife, Sue, along with Karen and Georgie, two of our fantastic carers, to help raise awareness and highlight both the impact on those receiving care and the dedicated professionals delivering it.

If we are to see real and lasting change, we must continue to stand together and raise our voices. It is essential that the Providers Unite campaign continues to keep the spotlight on social care and push for purposeful change!

A heartfelt thank you to Nadra Ahmed CBE DL 💚 for your unwavering support! 💚

We are proud to share that our very own Letitia, Stephen, and CEO Nina were filmed as part of ITV News Meridian’s coverage of the Providers Unite protest at Westminster! 🎥📺

This is more than just a protest; it’s an urgent call to action. The crisis in social care funding is worsening, and care providers, workers, service users, and advocates have united to demand the government take immediate action to protect the future of social care services.

💡 Social care is not a luxury! It’s a lifeline. It supports the NHS, ensures dignity for the most vulnerable, and helps communities thrive. Without proper funding, everyone suffers; workers, families, and those in need!

Funding social care is not an expense; its value is undeniably an essential investment in the UK’s well-being, economy, and future!

Social care is an integral part of our healthcare system. It offers employment and volunteer opportunities, contributes to our economy, and is vital to millions of people’s well-being and mental health.

Social care provides independence, dignity, and improved mental and physical well-being for millions of elderly and people who have a disability, along with support and security for their families.

🚨 Action is needed now! Funding social care isn’t just an expense—it’s an essential investment in everyone's future!
