Care UK’s prestigious shortlisting at the LaingBuisson awards

Care UK has been announced as a finalist in the Care Home Group of the Year category at the 2024 LaingBuission Awards. 

The LaingBuisson Awards recognise and celebrate industry excellence and innovation in social care, clinical services and associated advisory, property and financial roles.

The first thing that caught the eye of the judging panel was Care UK’s commitment to supporting homes through their Care Fit for VIPs accreditation – adapted from the University of Worcester’s framework - ensuring homes across the UK are providing gold-standard dementia care.

This is further supported by the launch of The Big Dementia Conversation earlier this year, which showed that eight in ten adults believe dementia is still misunderstood, with 69% of the nation believing it’s a subject which is not talked about enough. Many people also admitted to finding the condition uncomfortable to discuss.

The judges were also impressed by Care UK’s matched funding scheme. This charitable initiative helps colleagues give back to their community by topping up their charitable donations. If colleagues are fundraising individually, they can apply for matched funding of up to £1,000. This year, Care UK has matched more than £24,000 for local and national charities, including Cancer Research, Dementia UK, and The Alzheimer's Society.

The winners will be announced on Thursday 21st November 2024 at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London.
