Celebrating Five Years of Dedication: Claire at Acacia Homecare
August 23, 2024
As you already know Acacia Homecare was named finalist at the prestigious Stars of Social Care Awards for the Recruitment and retention award! You might be wondering what sets us apart and how we earned this incredible recognition. It’s simple: we believe that our staff are just as important as our customers, and this philosophy is at the heart of everything we do.
A Workplace That Feels Like Home
Our commitment to a nurturing and supportive workplace is evident in the long tenure of our team members, many of whom have been with us for 3 to 9 years. This loyalty speaks volumes about the positive environment we have cultivated at Acacia Homecare. We go beyond offering competitive salaries to provide a range of additional benefits designed to show our appreciation and support for our care workers.
Here is a review from Tracie M., One of the long-standing carers at Homecare has to say; “I have worked with Acacia for nearly 9 years now and I have loved every second of it. I love working with all the staff on the field and cannot explain how helpful the team in the office are, I always feel supported. I enjoy seeing the smiles on my customer’s faces every day and couldn’t think of a more rewarding job!”
