From Heart of our Home to National Finalist: Sarah Taylor's Incredible Journey

Our incredible Blackpool carer, Sarah Taylor, has been named as a finalist for "Domiciliary Carer of the Year" at the National Care Awards 2025

Sarah was named as a Heart of our Home following the incredible lengths she went to for a client in need. When we heard about her life-saving actions, we knew she deserved much wider recognition, so we nominated her for the National Care Awards 2025. We're absolutely thrilled she's been named a finalist!

Life-Saving CPR During a Home Care Visit

During a routine visit, Sarah discovered a client who had become unresponsive. Sarah remained calm, followed emergency protocols, and when the client's breathing became dangerously shallow, she performed three full rounds of CPR under dispatcher guidance.


This extraordinary moment revealed Sarah's true character - her ability to stay composed under pressure, her thorough training, and her genuine care for the people she supports.

Sarah's quick-thinking and professional response directly saved her client's life

Sarah Brings our HOME Values to Life

When she's not saving our clients' lives, Sarah makes such a special impact on their days. Her clients regularly tell us how much they look forward to her visits. She brings warmth and positivity to each interaction, understanding that for many clients, her visit is the highlight of their day.


Sarah takes time to really listen. She remembers the little things that matter to each person - their preferences, their stories, their concerns. It's this authentic connection that transforms a care visit into something truly meaningful.


On Friday, our Blackpool team threw Sarah a special celebration party, presenting her with a "Finalist 2025" sash. Sarah proudly wore this sash throughout her entire day, visiting her clients who were absolutely delighted to see it. Her clients' faces lit up with pride for Sarah - sharing in her joy and excitement about this incredible recognition.


It was heartwarming to see the genuine connections Sarah has built. All of her clients and our entire team are 'routing' for Sarah in the National Care Awards!
