Exemplar Homecare, Mansfield, has been named in the top 20 home care providers in the East Midlands.

The Ransom Wood Business Park-based business received the award a leading reviews site for home care, www.homecare.co.uk

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

There are 756 home care providers in the East Midlands and Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of homecare.co.uk, said: “Good quality home care is vital as it enables people to stay living in their own homes and keep their independence, with their home care worker often becoming their friend and companion as well as their lifeline to the outside world.

“Our reviews are given by those receiving home care as well as their family and friends. This helps people to search for the right home care provider, where trust, dignity and compassion are paramount.

We hope our awards will help to make people’s search that little bit easier.”

Craig Manning, branch manager at Exemplar Homecare, said: “We are a family run home care provider. We pride ourselves in putting customer care and satisfaction before profit.

“Our mission is to provide our clients with the highest possible standard of care in all our services.

“We are all delighted and proud to be recognised. We have only been trading for just over a year, and this award validates our decision to start our new company.”
