Homecare companies can take advantage of a new resource from today aimed at helping them to grow thriving businesses.
The Thrive Guide is a collection of great ideas and good practice to help homecare businesses thrive, compiled by Nursebuddy. Featuring advice from a range of leaders in care, plus original analysis of workforce data, the guide culminates in ‘The Thrive Big 6’: six factors that are essential to creating a thriving homecare business today.
Simo Hännikkälä, CEO & Co-founder of Nursebuddy said of the new resource: “Part of my motivation in founding Nursebuddy ten years ago was to help entrepreneurial care providers to thrive. In that spirit, this resource focuses on the things that are helping homecare companies to thrive today. We’ve brought together some of the best ideas and examples of great practice we could find, drawn from our network of customers and partners who have successful homecare businesses and are hard at work raising standards in the sector.”
Included within the guide is an interview with Anne Durnion from Caroline Cares for You, a twice rated Outstanding homecare provider based in Brackley, Northamptonshire. Sharing secrets to success, care manager Anne talks about the steps the company took to achieve an outstanding rating and some of the pioneering ways they look after their care team, to enjoy enviable levels of carer retention.
“There are some real gems included in this resource, and my hope is they spark new ideas and thinking.”
