Care Agency in Penrith gives 9.34% Pay Rise!
Eden Country Care, a leading provider of home care services across Cumbria, has announced a 9.34% pay rise for its home care staff. The pay rise reflects the company's growth and success and its commitment to the team of carers dedicated to the people they care for and support.
Heather Tarney, Director said, "We understand the financial challenges faced by many families as the cost-of-living increases. Our carers are the backbone of our organisation, so we wanted to show our appreciation and support to them by offering this pay rise. We know this will make a difference to them and their families."
Sharon Wilby, Senior Carer said, “It must be difficult to run a large company like ours during these difficult times, so a pay rise was the last thing on my mind, especially one as high as 9.34%. It’s much higher than anyone could have expected, and it’s come at exactly the right time for me with everything going up as it is. We all saw how hard Colette, our Care Manager, and her team have been working to improve the way we work together as a team. That dedication has obviously paid off; for me literally.”
New Approach to In-Home Care Services
The pay rise comes on the back of a new approach to care management that Eden Country Care are working on together with experts in knowledge management and digital marketing. This approach has enabled them to connect their clients with community groups and activities throughout the county.
Ian Patterson, an Eden Country Care client said, “Honestly, this isn’t a surprise. The carers have such dedication to their work. Hearing that they would be getting a pay rise like this makes complete sense. The company is like a real family, with family values, caring for me as if I were part of the family too.”
