A heartfelt congratulations to Sarah and the entire Preston team. Your dedication to our HOME values – Heartfelt, Open, Meaningful, and Empowering – truly shines through in everything you do, and this recognition is so well-deserved.

Sarah, our Registered Manager at Preston, has built a team that puts heart into every aspect of care. Her leadership approach blends professional excellence with genuine compassion.


"This 'Good' rating reflects the dedication and warmth our team brings to work each day," says Sarah. "I'm incredibly proud of how they connect with our clients, understanding what matters most to them.

What Our Clients & their Families Have Said

The warmth and quality of our Preston team shines through in the feedback from people we support: "They make sure I have everything before they leave, that I have sufficient drinks and that I am able to get something to eat."


Families feel the difference too, with one relative sharing: "As a family we trust the carers to do their job and without their help it would be difficult for my loved one to remain at home."


These words mean everything to us – they're the true measure of the difference our Preston team makes.

Living Our HOME Values

The CQC spotted how our Preston team truly embodies our HOME values. Staff don't just know these principles – they live them every day: "[The values] guide carers to act with kindness, follow ethical standards, respect individual's rights, and provide safe, effective support."


The team especially excelled in supporting healthier lives, with the report noting how "staff identified concerns early" and worked proactively with other professionals to improve people's wellbeing. This collaborative approach earned them particular praise.

The CQC is the independent regulating body for health and social care in England. Their seal of approval means our Preston team consistently delivers safe, effective, caring and responsive services. It's an external validation of the quality we strive for every day.


For families weighing up care options, this rating offers genuine peace of mind. It tells them that choosing Routes Healthcare Preston means choosing independently verified quality care – care they can trust for their loved ones when it matters most.
