ESG and business performance are very often linked. This is no accident. Care home businesses who are thinking about how they treat the environment, their people and their residents are creating long term relationships and value which repays through growth.

To mark Valentine’s Day 2023 (14th February), care home residents across the UK have come together to share their words of wisdom and ‘First Date Do’s and Don'ts To Finding Your Perfect Match’, for younger generations across the globe.

As part of our continued growth and development since joining the WorkNest group, and our ongoing integration with CQC Compliance, we are excited to announce that in addition to our mock inspection and compliance support services, we can now offer a wider range of services.

Social media is a must for businesses and care homes are no different. The main challenges for owners or marketing managers is to not only find the right platforms to use but also provide relevant and value added content to post. The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all and will depend on a number of different factors. Ownacarehome marketing and PR partner, Sharp Minds Communications,  helps by providing practical advice for social media in the care home sector.
