Words from the judges

Samantha Davis Wright, Wright Care at Home

Samantha is the driving force behind the entrance into care, her unwavering values and fervour for providing the right support in people’s homes radiate. Despite being a small company, her immense heart sets her apart. Keep forging ahead, Samantha; the social care realm thrives with individuals like you.

Words from the Founder/ Director, Samantha Davis-Wright:

This award shines recognition on just how immensely proud I am of the team I employ! They are the front line care heroes who day in and day out put their own families often aside to deliver a difference to others!

Carers are often the people behind the scenes who are not seen enough as the shining difference in keeping people safe in our communities. Since the pandemic we have seen huge pressures in this industry yet they are never phased!

Each day in care is different, we never know what we will walk into when going about our daily roles and they always approach their home care visits with professionalism, a smile and nothing but compassion!

They are the true heroes in this industry, with nothing but modesty and hearts of gold. It takes a special person to be a carer. I have 33 of those special people and never forget just how lucky i am to call them part of the Wright Care at home family.

I couldn’t suceed in flying our ethos and values however without the fantastic and dedicated management team i have behind the scenes who keep everything moving. They continue to amaze me with their approach to innovation, passion, and contribution to not only looking after the organisation we have set up and high standards of care we deliver but to look forward continually striving to build and ensure we shape the future of health and social care!

This award really meant the world to the team and me personally.

Sammy was delighted following the Regionals in November 2023 and their win to be put through to the Nationals. A huge accolade for the whole ‘Wright Care at Home team’

Attending with her husband she was over the moon when they were announced as HIGHLY COMMENDED! To be selected as the runner up in this category was just an incredible achievement! Over 5000 providers were at these awards!

WELL DONE SAMMY!!

Over 7 years Nicola has come so far in her Care Journey but particularly over the last 12 months where she has shone and really pushed herself out of her comfort zone to pass her skills to others! Nicola repeatedly goes above and beyond when providing End of Life and Palliative care. She goes to huge lengths to ensure she can support the individual receiving the care but also the family with everything they need.Over and over we receive personal compliments from those she has supported with gratitude for her care. We really championed Nicola in her skills in Care and recently she became the trainer for End of Life Care to our teams cascading her strengths to others. Over the last few months the sky has gained many bright stars for those we have been honoured to support and Nicola has ensured in an emotionally charged time her team are supported. There was no question when we nominated her for the Community Care Award for Lincolnshire 2023 ! And we are proud as punch that she took the award home !

Congratulations Nicky! We are so proud of you! To see others shine is an incredible feeling!

Donna from Wright Care at Home was chosen as our May Star Carer as her customers continually praise her for how calm, friendly, efficient and caring she is. She continually works around the clock putting her customers’ needs above her own to ensure they are safe. She has also helped one of her clients find relief during a period of grieving. She is described as amazing by her colleagues.

What was your reaction to winning CareLineLive’s May Star Carer Award?

I was very surprised and I was shocked but it was lovely. I am really pleased.

What aspects of being a carer do you enjoy?

I love all of it and I have been doing it for 2 ½ years. I love hearing all clients’ life stories – they teach you so much. I love meeting new people and making a difference to their lives – allowing them to stay in their homes and be independent. It’s also nice to see the smiles on their faces when you walk through the door.

I just enjoy it as every day is different.

How does CareLineLive’s Carer Companion App help you in your job?

The CareLineLive app is good as it has all the things that you need to do your job, for example the tasks and the medication that needs to be given – so you know what you need to do at each of the calls. It also includes history from previous visits so you know what is going on with each customer.

You can get handover notes from other carers so things that need to be done don’t get missed plus we have all the information about the next of kin so we can contact them if necessary.

What are the challenges in your role?

It can be up and down, end of life care is so emotional – it’s really hard, but it is a privilege to be there and look after them.

How do you switch off after a hard day at work?

It varies and depends on what time I finish my shift.

I sit down with a cup of coffee and watch the telly and chill out.

She talks about why this is important to her and how much she values her employer. Disabilities shouldn’t stop you being able to do a career you love!

Music enthusiast Phil expressed to the care team Supervisor at a review he would like to see ‘Level 42’ live in concert. They were touring and with the support of the team at Wright Care at Home, they made it happen.

The ethos of the home care provider is to promote independent living and to focus on the hobbies, beliefs, and loves of each individual to enhance their daily lives.

With positive risk assessing and careful planning nothing is off-limits. The team really cares and wants to make a difference.

This was an example of just that.

Claire ensured she had access to the concert, the correct transport, and planning to ensure Phil had a lovely time.

All our customers are assigned a key carer to support them within the community. This allows a holistic and person centered approach to care. Bringing social and health care together is a goal that Wright Care has always strived to.

Following the concert, we spoke to Phil

‘I had a fantastic night at the Level 42 concert last night. Claire looked after me brilliantly and she is a credit to your company. Well done Claire and thank you Wright Care at Home.’

It was a wonderful sunny day giving the perfect setting for some well-deserved self-care and mindfulness following the months of isolation for customers in the wave of the pandemic.

Care Director Samantha and Manager Sarah then surprised Jackie and both carers by bringing them a lovely hot coffee and piece of Chocolate cake from the Don’t Lose Hope café. They all sat in the gardens putting the world to rights. They then had the opportunity to explore the tranquil garden and speak with the charity owner Dominic.

Jackie had a lovely time as did the carers. Our carers really love what they do and to make such a difference gives them such reward. We look forward to many trips here but also getting involved in the many workshops that will be provided here in the community.

We wanted to share these wonderful photos and thank everyone at ‘Don’t Lose Hope’ for this fantastic space. It makes so much difference.

We spoke to Jackie to see how her visit went…

“I thought it was lovely and will be a success. I like the idea that it is run by volunteers. I thought it was a restful place and very calming. The organiser Dominic was there when we were and he was very welcoming and friendly. I think it will be helpful for people who have mild anxiety and depression or as a compliment to professionals for those with a more severe mental health illness. My favourite part was the chocolate cake from the cafe and the company. I enjoyed sitting in a beautiful garden in the sunshine.

A big thank you to Nicola and Donna who organised this for Jac

kie and of course our Care Director Sammy and the Care Manager Sarah for bringing the cake and coffees. A lovely morning and we look forward to many more.
