🙏 Thank you for all the nominations for our February Care of the Month!
Please vote before Friday, 27th of February, by calling the office on 01423 871002 or emailing monica.tavares@continued-care.co.uk

You can read about each nominee and the reasons given for their nomination below.

⭐️ Laura Kilpatrick
Laura has once again been nominated for the same consistent high standards she demonstrated last month. In addition to this, she has recently taken on the responsibility of supporting and mentoring Rachel M during her shadowing shifts. Laura has shown patience, professionalism, and strong leadership skills while guiding Rachel and ensuring she feels confident in her role.
New and existing clients have provided extremely positive feedback about Laura, commenting on her warm approach, reliability, and the reassurance she provides.
She also goes above and beyond in supporting family members, offering updates and emotional reassurance, which makes a real difference to the overall care experience.

⭐️ Henric
Henric has been nominated by staff in recognition of his hard work and the positive impact he has on the clients he supports. It has been noted that he does not always receive the credit he truly deserves. Henric works exceptionally hard to motivate clients and encourage them to maintain as much independence as possible.
He promotes dignity, confidence, and self-worth in those he supports. In particular, he has been amazing with clients, demonstrating patience, consistency, and genuine care. His calm and encouraging approach have made a significant difference, and his dedication is greatly appreciated.

⭐️ Naveen and Clifford
Naveen and Clifford have been nominated by staff for the excellent care and support they are providing to a client. They have demonstrated teamwork, compassion, and dedication in assisting this client with his daily needs.

⭐️ Laura K and Rachel M have been nominated as a duo for Carer of the Month in recognition of the outstanding support they provided to a client. Despite having only met the client once before, they were able to quickly build trust and create a safe, reassuring environment where they felt comfortable sharing important information. They demonstrated genuine care, kindness, compassion and patience throughout the visit, ensuring the client felt listened to and valued. They also acted swiftly and effectively in identifying and responding to safeguarding concerns, showing excellent professional awareness and strong teamwork. Their calm, person-centred approach had a significant positive impact on the client’s wellbeing and safety.

We look forward to receiving your vote!

A lovely update from our carer Phil with service user Jim, who said he didn’t realise that Continued Care offered a Sweeney Todd barber service!! They look like they enjoyed their last visit, and we think Jim looks very smart with his new look – he also commented that they looked like 2 boiled eggs. 🥚🥚

🎉 Kristina Carr, one of our carers, will be running two marathons in the space of two weeks for two charities!

The first one is the London Marathon on 26th April in aid of NSPCC, followed by the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on 10th May, fundraising for Saint Michael's Hospice.

If you would like to support her and her incredible endeavour, you can follow the links to donate:
London Marathon - https://2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/kristina-carr
Leeds Marathon - https://www.justgiving.com/page/kristina-carr-1

On 26th April, I’ll be standing on the start line of the London Marathon with thousands of other runners — nervous, excited, and full of adrenaline. But this run is about so much more than 26.2 miles.

⭐️ CONGRATULATIONS to Lynn Turner, who is our January Carer of the Month!

🤩 Lynn has been nominated many times this month, and her name is mentioned again and again when people talk about outstanding care. She always gives 100% at every visit and is regularly praised in reviews for being kind, caring, and reliable. Clients often say they could not manage without her support and feel safe and reassured when she is around. Because of the trust she builds and the comfort she gives, Lynn is always in high demand.

Well done Lynn! 💙

❄️When it gets cold, like the last few days, it can be difficult to keep yourself warm. Here are a few tips that can help you keep cosy when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
• Keep your curtains open during the day to let the sun’s warmth in
• Eat warming foods such as soups and stews
• Drink hot drinks
• Wear plenty of layers, thick socks and slippers, and even a hat and gloves
• Use a hot water bottle and extra blankets
• If you have laminate or wooden floors, put rugs down to make them cosier

You can read more tips about how to keep safe and well in winter on our website.
