Home Instead Norwich Named a Finalist in the 2025 Home Care Awards!

This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care and supporting the well-being of our clients in the comfort of their own homes.

The Home Care Awards celebrate excellence within the home care sector, recognising innovation, compassion, and outstanding service. Home Instead Norwich was selected as a finalist in the Training & Development category for our innovative approach to immersive, peer-led training and our dedication to staff development and client-centred care. Our pioneering use of “Betty”, a lifelike training mannequin in a simulated home environment, bridges the gap between theory and practice – boosting confidence and competence before Care Professionals meet clients. We also empower peer leadership, with initiatives like our Hydration Champion and Nutrition & Hydration Week, and have achieved a 5 Star Employer Award for three consecutive years, with 95% of staff proud to work here and 99% motivated to do their best work.
