Shropshire care service celebrates healthy award

One of the leading healthcare cashplan providers, HealthSure has developed an exciting initiative for selected corporate clients that demonstrate a high level of commitment to the health and well-being of their workforce.

Carewatch Mid-Shropshire is the latest recipient of this prestigious award.

The organisation provides high quality care in the home to over 300 residents in and around Mid-Shropshire and East-Shropshire. Employees at Carewatch Mid-Shropshire actively encourage independence and provide daily support among the elderly, children and people with learning and physical disabilities.

Steve Harris, director at Carewatch Mid-Shropshire comments: “I am delighted that we have been recognised as an organisation that not only cares about people in the local community but also as one that is dedicated to the health and well-being of its highly-valued workforce.

“The majority of our employees have access to the HealthSure healthcare cash plan, which is paid for by the organisation. In a profession where there is traditionally a high turnover of staff, we hope that a benefit like this will also help with the recruitment and retention of quality employees.”

“We’re already getting extremely positive feedback from our staff, who are able to access treatments without worrying about the costs. Some have been able to buy new glasses with help from their healthcare cash plan and one lady has even benefited from the counselling service via the helpline included in the policy.” continues Steve.

“The plan fits perfectly with the needs of our organisation and I’m sure that the healthcare cash plan will prove invaluable to our employees in the future.”

Lee Stanley, senior business consultant at HealthSure comments: “The staff at Carewatch Mid-Shropshire provide an outstanding service to the local community. In receiving this award the organisation has shown its commitment to the health and well-being of its employees and I am delighted to recognise them as a HealthSure healthy workplace.”

A HealthSure healthcare cash plan helps to budget towards a wide range of everyday healthcare treatment costs.

It can make treatments such as optical, dental, chiropractic, physiotherapy and complementary therapies such as acupuncture and osteopathy more affordable and encourages families and individuals alike to stay in tip top condition.
