Grateful that these providers and their staff were able to tell this story so eloquently. These people care in all definitions of the word. Thanks to @Brunelcare and @CandlelightCare and proud to work with you on Somerset.
Huge thanks to @Brunelcare @CandlelightCare for allowing us to see the pressures they are under. The dedication of the care teams we saw out on the road and back in the office was extraordinary. They are putting their own well-being on the line to ensure clients don’t go without.

Such great words @TimTimbav We must help our hard working colleagues to pop up for breath and celebrate the good work
Well deserved recognition for all the teams that have worked tirelessly in incredibly difficult times. Feels difficult to celebrate with the current system pressures but those continuing to work under those pressures deserve our gratitude
