A dedicated Shropshire man has celebrated ten years' service
with a local homecare company.
Gary Swain, who works in the Shrewsbury area, is a carer with
Anchorage Care Group, who are based in Condover.
He has now received a special award for his decade of service
with the company which delivers homecare services to elderly and
vulnerable clients to help them stay in their own homes and retain
their independence for longer.
Founder and managing partner, Margaret Rhodes, said: "Without
the support of committed carers like Gary, our business would not
be able to deliver the high quality standards of care our clients
deserve.
"His excellent attitude, professionalism and caring nature has
helped him to care for some of our most vulnerable clients, and
we're very proud of everything he has achieved.
"We are committed to ensuring all our clients receive the very
best care at all times, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and our
supportive staff are the key to our success."
Gary said: "I have enjoyed the past ten years very much and the
care industry is definitely an extremely rewarding career.
"Many people assume it's a job just for women, but I'd encourage
men to consider it too as it has been a really challenging but
interesting change of direction for me."
Anchorage Care Group is family-owned and has been in business
for over 20 years delivering homecare support to clients all over
Shropshire and beyond.
It employs over 150 carers and is recognised as an Investor in
People, as well as receiving the highest possible accreditation
from the Care Quality Commission.
All staff receive Criminal Records Bureau checks before they
join the company, and Anchorage Care Group always takes up
references from previous employers before employment can begin.
