Latest News from Everycare
Congratulations to all our staff. Everycare -Eastbourne has been awarded a ‘Top 20 Top Rated Home Care Provider 2021’ Award.
We are delighted to be recognised as one of the 20 top rated Home Care Providers in the region based on over 33,000 published reviews from service users/clients and their family/friends. The Awards are based on the review score, as of 30th April 2021 which is calculated using a combination of the number of reviews and the average of each of the ratings.
This is another wonderful achievement by the Everycare Eastbourne team and confirms their outstanding enthusiasm and dedication over a very difficult last 12 months. We look forward to providing all our clients with the same support over the next 12 months.
The government have announced their intention to make Covid-19 vaccinations mandatory for those working in care homes from the autumn.
There is currently a review of how to deal with care workers in the NHS and also in community settings with the requirement likely to be extended to these groups at either the same time or following closely on.
At Everycare we are pleased that all our home care staff who qualify for their vaccines have already had at least their first jab with the majority having had their second along with all our office staff.
Whilst the government has indicated that it may make vaccination compulsory for those working in Nursing homes it says it is unlikely to make it mandatory for those working in home care despite 70% of providers indicating that this would be their preference.
Matt Hancock has told MPs in Parliament that COVID-19 vaccination won’t be compulsory for home care workers, unlike staff working in care homes who care for people who are “the highest risk of all”. His words follow the government’s decision to launch a five-week consultation looking into whether or not it should introduce legislation to make Covid vaccination a condition of employment for care home staff.

Everycare Eastbourne are pleased to announce that 96% of all their care and office staff have now received their Covid 19 vaccination.
Nicola Small, Everycares branch manager said “We are delighted that we have had such a high take up on the vaccine from our fabulous staff. Whilst we are not yet at the end of the road this is a huge step in the right direction”
