Judi Love Crowns Outstanding Care Provider With Top Award


Following hot on the heels from receiving a second successive ‘Outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission, Home Counties Carers have now been proclaimed Home Care Provider of the Year at the Surrey Care Awards 2023.


The Awards recognise exceptional professional care given to thousands in Care Homes, Home Care, Nursing Homes, Supported Living and Learning Disability services throughout Surrey and Home Counties Carers came out on top, from over 100 entries, in the category of Home Care Provider of the Year.


Lucinda and Matthew Kalupka, co-founders of Home Counties Carers were presented with the award by TV celebrity, former care worker and fabulous advocate for those working in social care; Judi Love, who has lived and breathed the sector.


Addressing the social care professional award finalists at the gala event, said Judi: “This work is so close to my heart. What other job do you get to really make a difference to someone’s every day? It’s tough. But so worth it.”


Judi, who was wearing a green evening dress at the event in support of calls for a sustainable Adult Social Care sector, added: "Tonight, we have seen some people who are at the Top. Of. Their. Game. But sometimes, people working in it don’t always get the thanks they deserve. These awards, I hope, give you a bit of that much needed recognition."


Said Lucinda Kalupka: “Finding and embracing the joy in our work is so important to us, and we place great value on each team member, recognising and fostering their contributions. This award serves as a perfect affirmation of our team's commitment."


“While the social care sector presents its challenges, our dedicated team consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to live their best lives.”


Added Matthew Kalupka “It is so special to receive this award from the Surrey Care Association. It caps a fantastic year for Home Counties Carers. We’ve been recognised by our clients with the homecare.co.uk Top 20 in the South-East Award, we’ve been rated as “Outstanding” by the industry regulator, and now we’ve received the Home Care Provider of the Year Award.”
