A WIRRAL couple who co-own Home Instead Senior Care Wirral have received the Amazing Cultures and Values Award at a national industry event.

Mike and Catharine Chalton, who own the CQC Outstanding rated care company, were presented with the award, which is the first to have ever been presented to a local Home Instead business owner, after being picked from more than 200 potential candidates at the Home Instead Senior Care's annual national conference.

For the last 13 years, Mike and Catharine have lived and breathed the Home Instead Senior Care ethos and were one of the very first franchise offices of Home Instead.

The company say that the caring couple have always been 'unwavering in focusing on their high standards of client and caregiver care.'

In nominating the Chaltons for this recognition award, one of their colleagues said: “Cath and Mike are selfless when it comes to giving their time to help other owners and the national office team develop new initiatives/projects and have been inspiration to us in our journey with Home Instead.”

Not only have Mike and Catharine been delivering an exceptional and compassionate in-home care service to their senior clients in Wirral, but Catharine has also represented Home Instead on the British Franchise Association (BFA) for many years.

On receiving the award Mike said: “Catharine and I were very humbled to receive this award.

"Having spent 13 years living the Home Instead culture and values it has always felt a privilege to have the opportunity help other people.

“As one of the first Home Instead franchises we have had the added privilege of being able to help and support our fellow owners as they have grown their businesses.

"To receive recognition for this from our peers is something we will treasure for many years.

"Thank you to everyone.”
