CARERS are celebrating after glowing reviews led to an award win.

The team at Home Instead Senior Care was named one of the top 20 most recommended providers in the Home Care Awards 2018.

The awards are based on online reviews left at the homecare.co.uk website, where the Darlington based business had garnered a number of positive comments.

The business, which provides at home care to elderly clients, was rated highly across all categories and commended for treating people with dignity and providing value for money.

Owner Diane Chandler congratulated her staff and said: "We are always striving to provide the best care possible and our excellent team of caregivers are so attentive and caring.

"The client's dignity is respected at all times and each caregiver will always go the extra mile for their client."

One client's glowing review of the service they receive from the team said: "I have found both management and staff to be very pleasant and helpful in all ways.

"I look forward to seeing my helper once a fortnight who works very efficiently."
