🎙️ From our latest Care Podcast episode with Skills for Care…
💭 “What should families ask a care provider about training?”
In this clip, we share a simple but important piece of advice: don’t just assume, ask the question.
✨ Things to look out for:
• How carers are trained beyond the basics
• What induction new staff receive
• How providers support ongoing development
Because the quality of care your loved one receives starts with how well carers are supported and trained 💙
When you trust someone to care for a loved one… how do you know they’re properly trained? 💭
In this episode, we’re joined by Skills for Care to talk about what really goes on behind the scenes - from training and standards to how carers are supported to deliver safe, compassionate care 💙
✨ We cover:
• How carers are trained in the UK
• What “good care” actually looks like
• Why standards and support matter
• What families don’t always see
If you’ve ever wondered what makes care safe and reliable, this is well worth a listen 👇
A big thank you and well done to Nikki, Solihull's Caregiver of the Month for March 👏✨
Chosen by her colleagues, Nikki is someone who quietly gets on with the job and makes a real difference every day. She’s known for going the extra mile, always showing kindness, and bringing a calm, positive presence to both clients and the team 💙
Her colleagues often mention her reliability, her willingness to help, and the way she treats everyone with genuine respect. And of course, her smile which brightens even the toughest days 😊
Thank you for everything you do, Nikki. It doesn’t go unnoticed 🌟

It wasn’t just new Caregivers on training last week… we also welcomed a brand new training dummy to the team (very quiet, but a great listener).
It’s already helping the team practise safely, build confidence, and keep improving those hands-on skills that matter every day.
Now the big question… what should we name them? 👀

In our new video, we talk about what’s really happening when someone living with dementia becomes distressed.
It’s easy to think it’s about what’s being said. But often, distress is a form of communication 💬
It might be pain or discomfort.
Too much noise or too many people.
Or simply feeling overwhelmed.
In those moments, the instinct is often to step in and reassure. But sometimes, the most helpful first step is to pause ⏸️
That pause gives you time to look for what might be causing the distress. And when those things are addressed, things often settle without needing to explain or persuade.
If you do respond, keep it simple. Slow. Calm. Less can often help more.
Mark, one of our Caregivers in Solihull, has been nominated by his client for the Spotlight in Excellence Award for March. It says a lot about the kind of support he gives and the relationship he’s built 🤗
This photo says it all - just a lovely connection between Mark and his client.
Very well deserved, Mark, and thank you for everything you do 🧡

In the latest episode of the Care Conversations podcast, we talk about what families often underestimate when caring for a loved one at home 🏡
Supporting someone safely takes more than good intentions. From managing medication to handling falls, there’s a level of training and awareness that many people don’t realise until they’re in that position.
Even something that feels natural, like helping someone up after a fall, can cause harm without the right approach ⚠️
It’s a simple reminder that great care involves knowing how to help safely, for both of you 🤝
If you’ve ever thought about working in care, this could be the right time to start.
Earn £14.00 per hour (£14.50 on weekends) helping people stay safe, independent and comfortable in their own homes.
You’ll support clients across Kenilworth with personal care, preparing meals, companionship and everyday routines. Over time, you’ll build real relationships and become a familiar, reassuring face each week.
Why it’s a great job:
✅ A supportive, experienced office team behind you
✅ Full training provided from day one
✅ No experience needed – just the right values
✅ Flexible shifts to fit around your life
✅ Work locally in your own community
You’ll see the difference you make to clients and to their families every day.
If you’re caring, reliable and ready to do something worthwhile, we’d love to hear from you:

Unique Senior Care was founded in 2011, by Philip Wright-Howarth and Philip Maundrill. Both have, at some point, been responsible for a loved one in need of care. At Unique Senior Care we therefore have an intimate understanding of what quality care should look like, and the peace of mind this brings to family members, as well as the person being cared for. This has been a key driver throughout the business’ history and continues to underpin all aspects of the work we do.
What makes us Unique?
It is without doubt the people we care for, our staff and the quality of the services we provide. Every member of our team shares the same ethos of putting ‘People, above all else’. We believe that by supporting older people to remain in their own home, we can enable them to live more fulfilling lives, and our care is always tailored to meet the individual needs of our clients. Families will have the peace of mind that their loved ones are in excellent hands. As a result, we have built a reputation as a care company that specialises in one thing: people.
Our care is unique and outstanding
Unique Senior Care’s blend of home care is based on providing a service which is the best quality it can be and which meets the needs of both our clients and their families. We are delighted, therefore, that the independent regulator of health and social care in England, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), has rated our service in Coventry South as Outstanding.
