Today our CEO Camille Leavold will receive her MBE in recognition of her service and dedication to the social care sector.
Under her leadership, Abbots Care has spent 30 years supporting people in the community. What began in 1995 as a small family run business has grown into one of Hertfordshire’s leading home care providers, rated Outstanding by the CQC for the third consecutive time.
Camille’s ethos has always been to champion the adult social care sector as a whole. Growing up in a family deeply committed to care, she developed first hand experience from an early age and has since gone on to represent the sector on industry panels and as a non-executive board member of the Homecare Association.
"When we started Abbots Care in 1995, it felt natural to focus on care, compassion and service. With a lot of enthusiasm and very little investment, Abbots Care was up and running. What began as a family of three care workers supporting a handful of people, has grown into something I now barely recognise. I am overwhelmed by the number of caring people who work here and the support we are able to deliver to more than 1,000 people in the community."
Congratulations Camille on building something truly outstanding 🎉
