As Christmas approaches and the end of the year starts to loom, now is the perfect time to reflect on the fantastic things that Home Care Preferred Winchmore Hill has achieved in the year 2019! Events Here at Home Care Preferred it has always been important to us to host events. We love to give back to our team as well as our local community. Throughout this year we have raised money for charity by hosting some super fun events: Zumbathon Sonia Tonge (a close friend of Home Care Preferred) hosted a marathon dancing event with Home Care Preferred! Together with Sonia we raised £300 for the North London Hospice as well as getting loads of locals on their feet...

Earlier this month The Mayor of Enfield, Christine Hamilton and MP for Enfield Southgate, Bambos Charalambous, both flexed their limbo skills for the launch of our new social media based fundraising campaign, ‘Care To Limbo’. Launched this October, with the help of local dignitaries as well as celebrity sportsmen such as British track sprinter Dwain Chambers and QPR footballers, Care To Limbo is designed to help raise awareness and funds for four chosen charities; Alzheimer’s Society, Carers UK, Crisis and Macmillan Cancer Support. A similar concept to the “ice bucket challenge”, Care To Limbo challenges people around the world to record themselves doing the limbo dance, and we have already seen people in France and Italy pick up the limbo gauntlet. ...

Home Care Preferred had an amazing time at the Firs Farm Festival last weekend! We were so pleased to be there offering free wheelchair loans for the day to festival go-ers that found it difficult to move around with ease. There were lots of fun things to do including a Zumba class by Sonja Tonge which you can see in the video above. It was a great success and we would like to thank Toni Guiver and her team for putting on such a wonderful event and for having us as part of their day. So much hard work went into this event and it really showed through with a seamless set up and such happy faces wondering...

There is an increased need for care as we are an aging population. By 2031, 1 in 4 people will be over 65 and 66% of the population will need care by 2038. Do you know how to plan for this or will you be hot with panic when the need for care presents itself? We have many calls every day with people enquiring for care that just don’t know what to do. Generally, individuals do not know what options there are around fees, if they can receive any government help, the differences in care options or how long this takes to put into place. We will always do our best to show our potential clients what options they do...

At Home Care Preferred we appreciate the hard work that our team members put in to ensure we are an award-winning business with our client’s happiness and well-being at its heart. While we are first and foremost colleagues, we are proud to have developed a ‘family’ ethos and we love to socialise as a team outside of work. With summer upon us (and the sun actually shining) it seemed only right to thank our team, friends, family and business associates for their hard-work and on-going support with a summer shin-dig – so that’s what we did! Our ever generous Managing Director Ken allowed us all to descend upon his lovely home for a Saturday filled with food, drink, laughter, music...

Good Care Week is upon us and runs from 16th -25th of June. The initiative was launched by Hertfordshire Care Providers Association (HCPA) and is designed for all care providers, no matter what type of service, to show the public why it is so important to care! We believe now more than ever the ethos behind Good Care Week is so important, and we are both delighted and proud to be participating in the event this week. At Home Care Preferred we are privileged to work with kindhearted compassionate people who have dedicated their lives to caring for the vulnerable ensuring they are treated with respect, dignity and enabling them to continue living independently. We thrive on facilitating an environment...

Having welcomed in 2017 we at Home Care Preferred are getting stuck into ensuring this year is our most successful and exciting yet. In the midst of our planning we thought this was a great time to reflect on the previous year and all we have achieved… There is no doubt that 2016 will go down in history – for the right or wrong reasons is open for debate. However, there is no question that 2016 has been a positive year at Home Care Preferred. We are providing person-centred support to more individuals than ever before, allowing them to stay safe in their own homes, maintaining independence and dignity, and with peace of mind for them and their loved-ones that...

The Home Care Preferred Office got well and truly in the festive spirit this week when we spent ‘Christmas morning’ with our work family. Festive garments were adorned, carols were played and many a mince pie and cake was consumed. It was a lovely opportunity to sit down and celebrate all Home Care Preferred has achieved this year, and to thank each other with Secret Santa gifts – all of which were very gratefully received. The Office Team are just a very small part of Home Care Preferred and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Support Assistants for the incredible work they do enabling and supporting our clients year round – they are the...

With an increasingly ageing population – and an ever tighter government budget – the cost of care, and the type of care available, is fast becoming an extremely prevalent topic. At Home Care Preferred we are passionate about ensuring the public has access to all the care information and options available to them, and regularly host free informative presentations which are always deemed very successful – and our Care Information Seminar on Thursday 27th October was no exception. Hosted in collaboration with George Ttouli, founder of Burlington Wealth Management, the seminar covered the importance of wills, lasting powers of attorney (and the difficulties you may face if they are not drafted and put in place), along with the different care...
