A Brecon home care agency has been named one of the best in Wales.

Silver Assist Homecare has won an award as a top 20 home care provider in the country.

The accolade comes via the leading reviews site for home care, www.homecare.co.uk, which hosts the awards to help people find care that is right for their needs, budget and location. 

There are 391 home care providers in Wales and 12,578 home care providers in the UK. 

Nearly a million disabled and older people receive care at home so they can continue to live independently in their own homes. This includes help with getting dressed, washed, preparing meals and drinks and administering medication. 

The award is based on the home care provider’s reviews from the people they care for, plus their friends and relatives.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of homecare.co.uk said: “Good quality home care is so important as it means people can get the help and support they need so they can continue to live independently in their own homes.

“Home care workers play a vital role in keeping people who are less mobile, due to age, illness or disability, both mentally and physically well. 

“Silver Assist Homecare has shown it provides care of the highest quality and we would like to congratulate it on being one of the top home care providers in Wales.” 

Managing Director, Samantha Denne said: “We are delighted to be recognised as one of the Top 20 homecare providers in Wales!

“This tremendous achievement within our first year of trading is huge, and in no small part down the wonderful team we have here at Silver Assist.

“Thank you to our customers and their families for sharing your experiences using our service. We hope we continue to deliver on our promise of quality focused support that you can trust.”
