Quadruple Office Finalists!

At Home Instead Broadstairs, Ramsgate & Margate, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate some outstanding achievements for our team. This year, four of our Office Staff have been named finalists across two prestigious awards, recognising all the hard work and passion they bring to the care sector everyday.

These nominations not only highlight individual excellence but also our ongoing commitment to providing the highest standards of care, investing in our community and seeking new ways to improve the lives of our Clients and Care Professionals.

Stars of Dementia Care Awards

The Stars of Dementia Care Awards celebrate individuals those who go the extra mile to make a difference in the care sector, especially for older adults living with dementia. We’re extremely proud that two of our team members have been recognised on a national level for these awards.

Sabina – Finalist, The Trailblazing Trainer Award 2026

Our Registered Manager and Dementia Train-the-Trainer, Sabina, has been named a finalist for the Trailblazing Trainer Award recognising her outstanding commitment to developing, inspiring and empowering our Care Professionals with dementia knowledge.

Recognising that exceptional dementia care starts with knowledge, confidence and understanding, Sabina delivers an intensive 5-day dementia training programme to our Care Professionals every quarter. Through her passion, expertise and engaging approach, she equips our team with the specialist skills needed to provide outstanding personalised care for those living with dementia.

Beyond her work in the office, Sabina continually seeks new ways to create meaningful changes within our community. One of her most notable recent achievements was organising the Thrive Over 50 event in Thanet, bringing together more than 70 organisations with a shared commitment to improving wellbeing, opportunities and support for adults aged 50 and over.

Her dedication to empowering others and passion for helping the community makes this recognition highly earned.

Leane – Finalist, The Spark Of Innovation Award 2026

Field Care Supervisor, Leane, has been shortlisted for the Spark Of Innovation Award in recognition of her creativity and forward-thinking ideas to making a positive difference for clients living with dementia. Her innovative thinking recently transformed the quality of life for a husband and wife living with dementia, who were experiencing significant distress due to difficulties recognising the Care Professionals visiting their home.

Using her understanding of dementia and the importance of visual cues, Leane designed personalised Home Instead lanyards featuring avatar images of their care team. The lanyards enabled them to quickly identify and become familiar with the Care Professionals supporting them, helping to reduce confusion and create a greater sense of trust and reassurance.
