We were delighted to welcome Maggie and Debbie from Stewartry Care along to chat with us about their employee-owned company and all the different care services they provide.

It was lovely hearing about their Make a Wish initiative, but one of the things that really stood out to us was hearing about their amazing staff loyalty. They have Care Workers approaching 25 years of service, and one has even reached an incredible 30 years! 👏👏

That really does tell you something about what a good company Stewartry Care must be to work for!

Care Workers,with a little help from our wonderful volunteers Marion and Liz, demonstrated the Raizer chair - an absolutely amazing bit of kit! It can help carers safely lift someone who has fallen, provided they don’t need medical attention.

There were lots of questions (as you can imagine! ), and the conversation also opened up some really honest discussions about people’s positive and not so positive experiences of the care system.

What really came across was how knowledgeable, patient and honest the team were and most of all, how much passion they have for what they do and the people they support.

A huge thank you to Maggie, Debbie and the Stewartry Care team for coming along, answering all our questions and giving us such an interesting insight into the work they do.

We really enjoyed having you! 😊👏
